Prospectus 2021 - About

In association with Kroll Bond Rating Agency

November 12th to 18th 2020 - Online & virtual mix of conference keynotes and panel sessions

Prospectus 2021 is the first edition of a new annual reinsurance and insurance-linked securities (ILS) market conference brought to you by both Artemis and Reinsurance News.

As attendees of our Artemis ILS conferences will know, our goal is to bring you forward-looking, thoughtfully-curated events that meet the intellectual and networking needs of attendees and speakers, while also delivering the exposure our sponsors want.

“Prospectus” is a new annual reinsurance and insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference that brings together the traditional and alternative, to discuss what really matters to the market at a key point in the calendar.

You can now watch every session on-demand.

With the January renewal negotiations well-underway by this time, the US hurricane season almost over, and thoughts firmly on the following year’s opportunities, Prospectus 2021 will deliver thought-provoking discussion on issues of the day, as well as a valuable outlook to the next year.

The word “Prospectus” is taken from the latin for forward (pro) and look (specere), also meaning to view or prospect ahead, so we feel this sets the right tone for a constructive conversation at this key point in the year.

Virtual for this year, in person somewhere around the globe when we can, “Prospectus 2021” sessions will all be broadcast live online, but every session will also be available on-demand for those who cannot tune in live, so the content will live forever.

Hear discussions on the key issues of the day for traditional reinsurance and insurance-linked securities (ILS) markets. Learn what really matters as the January renewals fast approach and what the hot topics are for 2021.

  • Key renewal negotiation points
  • The effect of COVID-19
  • Climate risk effects on perils
  • Capital raising and start-up outlook

As a conference, “Prospectus” is designed to be agnostic as to capital source, corporate structure, or form of balance-sheet, instead being focused purely on the issues that affect everyone across reinsurance and insurance-linked securities (ILS).

As a result, you will hear topics of interest to insurers, reinsurers, brokers, investors, asset managers, service providers and anyone else for who reinsurance & ILS presents an opportunity or interest.

Find out what matters to the industry & what experts have to say about it.
