ILS NYC 2021 – Our agenda

We now have an almost complete agenda available for our upcoming ILS NYC 2021 online and virtual event.

For 2021, we will bring you a flavour of our annual New York event in the style of discussion, forward-looking, insightful and focused this year on “Defining the next generation…” of insurance-linked securities (ILS) and alternative reinsurance capital use.

Broadcasts will begin on Friday, February 5th, with three sessions to broadcast each day, across four consecutive days, perhaps more.

View the full agenda and schedule here, register and add each session to your calendar.

Don’t worry if the initial broadcast times don’t work for you, as all of our ILS NYC 2021 video content will remain available to view at your leisure. Broadcast links will become active for those registered just before the event times detailed on the agenda.

But, if you haven’t already, please register to be among the first to get access!

Many of our speakers this year have supported our in-person New York ILS conference before and we’d like to thank our kind sponsors in advance. So expect familiar faces and firms to be the order of the day(s) as the broadcasts are delivered across a number of days.

We’re paring things back for this event, focusing on the quality of our speakers and content so do visit the website to see who we have lined up for you.
