We are thrilled to be able to provide a conduit through which Bermuda’s risk industry, after a two-year absence, can meet face to face with their overseas clients prior to the upcoming June 1 policy renewal season. As we enter our third year of learning to live with COVID-19, it is so important that we offer opportunities for industry to return together safely to dialogue and chart a new direction forward together.”

John Huff, President and CEO of ABIR, said, “The Bermuda Risk Summit will be the first, large in-person risk event on island since late 2019. As Bermuda’s leading insurers and reinsurers continued long-term commitment to our international market, ABIR and its member companies are proud to support the Bermuda Risk Summit. As the world’s most innovative and responsive (re)insurance market, our aim is to support this event to provide our members and stakeholders an ideal opportunity to meet new and existing clients, to share ideas and best practices in person and to foster customer-driven solutions to close the global protection gap.”

Jessel Mendes, Partner and Markets Leader, EY region of the Bahamas, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands, said, “We are thrilled to be sponsoring the Bermuda Risk Summit. The BDA’s vision for this inaugural event really resonated with us and we applaud them for providing a platform to showcase Bermuda’s prominence, importance, and attractiveness. We, at EY, look forward to reconnecting and collaborating, in person, with local and international participants. We are committed to the Summit’s success and supporting Bermuda and the growth of its risk related industries.”
