Kaplan Hawksmere is proud to present our 22nd International Reinsurance Congress, the longest running and most prestigious event for the insurance and reinsurance industry.

As you will see, we’ve shortened the event to two high-impact days and brought together a truly phenomenal panel of international speakers such as:

Leila Madeiros, Vice President and Corporate Secretary, Association of Bermuda Insurers and Reinsurers (ABIR)

The Honorable Gregory W Slayton, US Chief of Mission to Bermuda

Robert J Cooney, Managing Director, Capital Markets, Aon Re Global

Dr William Panning, Executive Vice President & Managing Director, Willis Re

Against the backdrop of the credit crunch, impending recession and debates on global warming, our programme will cover all the most critical industry developments and provide a comprehensive update on the year gone by and, more crucially, what is in store in the year to come.

As always, there will be lots of time for networking to meet with colleagues and clients to discuss and debate the critical challenges facing the global reinsurance industry.

The Hawksmere 21st International Reinsurance Congress is truly the essential annual event for all industry professionals.

Our conference headline is “where to from here – what next for the reinsurance industy?”.  To answer that question, our industry leading speakers will address the following critical questions:

• What are the current trends impacting the Reinsurance industry?
  
  
• What will be the impact of the sub-prime debacle?
  
  
• Does climate change bring risk or opportunity?
  
  
• How will legislative changes such Solvency II and US Reinsurance Regulatory Reform effect the global market?
  
  
• Has capital management replaced underwriting?
  
  
• How is the ART market changing?
  
  
• Is ILS a new opportunity or passing fad?
  
  
• Enterprise risk management: what questions should we be asking?

The best place to find out the answer to these questions and more is the Kaplan Hawksmere 22nd International Reinsurance Congress. We look forward to welcoming you.
