Artemis ILS NYC 2019

Over 350 people attended our third conference in New York City. Tickets were sold out in advance of the conference and by the day we had more than 60 people on a waiting list.

The day was packed with interesting discussions from our speakers who discussed avenues for future insurance-linked securities (ILS) market growth across four main panel sessions.

The day featured speakers from all over the globe, including executives from dedicated ILS funds, leaders of capital markets units of global insurance and reinsurance firms, executives from the broker community, and also representatives of the U.S. and UK governments, as well as the World Bank, and the Red Cross.

The event focused on unlocking future growth opportunities for the ILS market and speakers said that the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market is ready and expecting to enter further phases of growth and expansion.
