With only a few weeks remaining until Artemis's upcoming conference dedicated to catastrophe bonds and insurance-linked securities (ILS) in London, the organizers have announced the addition of three new distinguished speakers to the event's roster. Prospective attendees are encouraged to register promptly to ensure their participation in a full day of comprehensive ILS market discussions and valuable networking opportunities on September 1st.
This marks the fifth occasion Artemis has hosted an in-person conference centered on catastrophe bonds and the broader ILS market in the City of London. For the 2026 gathering, the conference will return to the same Minster Building venue utilized in 2025, offering a full day of presentations and networking. The agenda includes in-depth discussions on various aspects of the catastrophe bond and ILS market, alongside explorations of investor sentiment and key priorities for forthcoming reinsurance renewals. The event is structured to provide ample time for networking, featuring extended breaks and a concluding cocktail reception, facilitating interactions with leading figures in the cat bond and ILS sectors. Doors will be open from 8 AM to 7 PM on the day.
The newly announced speakers further enhance the high level of industry expertise present at Artemis London 2026. Among the experts scheduled to present are Perry Thomas, Chief Executive Officer at Flood Re; Abderrahim Elamrani, Head of Reinsurance at Descartes Underwriting; and Jonathan Gray, Chief Underwriting Officer at Pool Re. The detailed agenda, session themes, and timings are available on the conference website, with specific speaker assignments to panels to be released later this week. Given that ticket sales are expected to accelerate, early registration is highly recommended to secure a spot. Special discounts and some complimentary passes are available for genuine end-investor allocators to the ILS asset class, who should contact the organizers for registration assistance.
The Artemis London 2026 conference is meticulously designed to offer an exceptional experience, blending insightful content, prominent speakers, a forward-looking perspective, and unparalleled networking opportunities. The organizers' commitment to creating an event they would personally wish to attend ensures a high-quality gathering. This event serves as a critical platform for industry professionals to engage with the latest developments and connect with peers, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange within the dynamic catastrophe bond and ILS market.
