Bermuda heads back to RIMS

Bermuda Premier David Burt will lead a Bermuda Business Development Agency delegation to the annual  RIMS conference, taking place on 10-13 April in San Francisco.

The event brings together more than 10,000 attendees from over 70 countries, 400 exhibitors and over 300 speakers.

“Government is committed to supporting and growing the risk management industry in Bermuda, and the RISKWORLD conference gives us a chance to meet global leaders, learn about new commercial trends, and emphasise the importance of this sector to Bermuda,” said Burt.

“The delegation will combine attendance at RIMS with additional business development meetings in Silicon Valley, focusing on technology, climate risk finance and venture capital.”

Minister of economy and labour Jason Hayward added: “RIMS is one of the most important events on the risk industry calendar, so it remains important for Bermuda to continue to have a presence at RIMS.”

BDA Chair Stephen Weinstein will also attend. He said: “The world has been a difficult place to navigate over the last few years, but Bermuda’s 35-year relationship with RIMS has been a real touchstone.

“Because it attracts so many risk professionals, RIMS RISKWORLD is an ideal place to promote Bermuda as the world’s risk capital. The fact that it is being held in San Francisco also gives us an opportunity to build awareness that Bermuda is the best platform in the world for tech-enabled business-to-business financial services, for climate finance innovation, and to beta test a range of technology and infrastructure solutions.”
