Risk Summit welcomes 460 people
The fifth annual Bermuda Risk Summit 2026 welcomed 460 delegates this year, including 172 international attendees.
Organisers the Bermuda Business Development Agency this week reported that 217 companies were represented, spanning 18 headquartered jurisdictions for the event, which was held on March 9 to 11.
Kendaree Burgess, BDA managing director said: “What we saw over these three days was not just conversation, but alignment around where the market is going and how Bermuda is positioned within it.”
She said in a period defined by volatility and recalibration, the message from global leaders was clear: the market is seeking quality jurisdictions that offer clarity, credibility and the ability to execute.
“The strength of our jurisdiction lies in how closely industry, regulators and government work together to remove friction and enable solutions that are fit for purpose,” Ms Burgess said. “That was evident not only in the dialogue on stage, but in the level of engagement and decision-making happening in the room.”
The BDA said the event brought together senior leaders for three days of high-level dialogue, market insight and strategic engagement reinforcing Bermuda’s position as a leading jurisdiction at the intersection of risk, capital and innovation.
The summit included the Future Leaders Forum designed to connect students, graduates and career-shifters with opportunities across Bermuda’s risk ecosystem.
The forum welcomed 106 students and career-shifters from Bermuda’s public and private schools, Bermuda College and the Bermuda Centre for Creative Learning, alongside 21 university students from Canada and the United States.
They engaged directly with 39 speakers and professionals from across the re/insurance market, service providers and recruitment industry.
