Artemis ILS NYC 2026 – Catastrophe Bonds & Insurance Linked Securities Conference

February 6th 2026:
08:00 – 19:00 (including networking breakfast, coffee breaks, lunch and drinks reception).

Artemis returns to New York City for our tenth insurance linked securities (ILS) conference in the ILS NYC series on February 6th 2026.

Register to attend ILS NYC 2026.

In 2026 we will be back in New York to host another full-day of detailed discussions on the catastrophe bond and wider insurance-linked securities (ILS) market, with a focus on strengthening the resilience of the asset class to continue supporting global risk capital needs.

Artemis ILS NYC 2026 will feature a full day event of inspiring and educational talks and discussions related to catastrophe bonds and insurance linked securities on stage, with plenty of valuable networking opportunities with industry leaders of the ILS market, investors and service providers.

Demand for efficient reinsurance capital continues to rise and the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market supplies a meaningful proportion of it. As a result, catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities capital has become a critical support for global re/insurance markets and global resilience as a result.

Hence, resilience within the ILS industry and its infrastructure also needs to remain high so it can continue playing a supportive and growing role in risk capital and reinsurance markets. The resilience of the cat bond and ILS industry is exhibited through and accentuated by both the robust structures and products used to deploy capital and the discipline insurance-linked securities managers and investors adopt.

At the same time, increasing the resilience of the global ILS industry through delivery and adoption of improved processes and products, as well as modernisation and transformation of market infrastructure through technology, are also increasingly important areas for discussion.

As insurance-linked securities (ILS) market participants look to continue developing and expanding the asset class, the industry and investors will gather again at Artemis ILS NYC 2026 to discuss the state of the market, opportunities for improvement and how to continue on a sustainable growth curve that both suits investor risk-return targets and tolerances, while also supporting the growing need for global risk capital and resilience.
