BDA unveils fifth annual Bermuda Risk Summit
The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) has announced that Bermuda Risk Summit will take place from 9–11 March 2026 at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club. A significant strategic shift will see the Climate Summit integrated with the Risk Summit platform, uniting two of the BDA’s core event brands under one expanded global forum.
This evolution, BDA said, reflects the realities of today’s risk landscape, where environmental exposures, capital deployment, geopolitical pressure, and regulatory shifts are deeply interconnected.
By embedding climate-related themes into the broader risk agenda, the BDA aims to sharpen focus, increase relevance, and deliver even greater value to the international re/insurance, risk, life, and investment community.
Kendaree Burgess, managing director of the BDA, said: “This is about being responsive to the market and deliberate in our positioning. We’re seeing clear signals that capital markets and corporate leaders want integrated solutions — not siloed conversations. This move reflects Bermuda’s strengths: we are expert, agile, and attuned to the geopolitical and economic forces shaping risk worldwide.”
Since its launch in 2022, the Bermuda Risk Summit has become a cornerstone of the global risk calendar, drawing senior leaders from across re/insurance, ILS, life, capital markets, regulation, and advisory. Asgeopolitical risks and economic decoupling fuel uncertainty for global insurers, Bermuda continues to offer rare stability — underpinned by a robust regulatory framework and trusted jurisdictional standards.
Insurers and asset managers increasingly view Bermuda as a critical hub for capital innovation — including private credit, insurance-linked securities, and alternative structures such as sidecars — especially as inflationary pressure and rate volatility persist. The 2026 event will build on this momentum, offering a deeper lens on capital optimisation, resilience, and integrated risk strategy.
