BDA reveals Bermuda Risk Summit agenda
The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) has confirmed the agenda, which will include a session on captives, for the Bermuda Risk Summit 2025, from March 10 to 12 at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club.
The opening panel, Navigating Global Risk: Insights from Industry Leaders, features John Huff, chief executive & president of ABIR, as moderator. This session will discuss the evolving risk landscape, with a panel of global chief executives including Stephen Catlin (founder and executive chair of Convex Group), Mark Cloutier (executive chairman and group chief executive of Aspen Insurance Group), Nicolas Papadopoulo (chief executive of Arch Capital Group), and Kathleen Reardon (chief executive of Hiscox Re & ILS).
They will share their perspectives on how their businesses are navigating an increasingly complex global risk environment while supporting economies around the world. The discussion will cover how the sector is responding to emerging challenges, adapting to shifting market dynamics, and implementing resilience-focused strategies.
Huff said: "From geopolitical instability to inflationary pressures and increasing climate-driven catastrophes, the risk landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace. As the world’s largest reinsurance market, the Bermuda industry plays a critical role in absorbing global shocks, ensuring financial resilience in times of uncertainty while protecting families, businesses and communities. This year’s Bermuda Risk Summit is the opportunity to bring together the brightest minds in risk and reinsurance to move beyond theory and into action. We’re not just discussing risk — we’re forging the solutions that will define the future of global stability.”
