Artemis London 2026 to Convene Insurance-Linked Securities Leaders in the City of London

Artemis has announced its fifth annual insurance-linked securities (ILS) conference in London, scheduled for September 1, 2026. The full-day event will gather upwards of 300 industry professionals to discuss catastrophe bonds, reinsurance renewals, and the evolving role of capital markets in risk transfer. This conference serves as a critical networking hub for senior executives, investors, and regulators within the specialized ILS and reinsurance sectors.

Artemis London 2026 marks the fifth iteration of this annual gathering, returning to a central City of London venue on September 1, 2026. The event is designed as a high-quality, full-day conference running from 08:00 to 19:00, featuring a comprehensive schedule that includes a networking breakfast, coffee breaks, lunch, and an evening cocktail reception. Organizers have expanded the capacity for the 2026 event to accommodate 300 or more attendees, building on the success of previous years which saw approximately 240 registered participants from over 160 organizations.

The conference agenda focuses heavily on catastrophe bonds and the broader ILS market, specifically targeting forward-thinking topics such as investor sentiment and market priorities ahead of major reinsurance renewal cycles. Sessions will feature industry thought-leaders, ILS fund managers, and senior executives from (re)insurance companies discussing the capital market's future role in reinsurance. One confirmed speaker role includes the Senior Manager of London Bridge at Lloyd’s, who also serves as Chairman for London Bridge 2 and LB Risk PCCs, highlighting the event's connection to key London market structures.

Beyond formal presentations and panels, the event emphasizes high-level networking between senior decision-makers from across the investment and insurance sectors. The attendee roster typically includes a diverse range of stakeholders, including pension and institutional investors, hedge funds, investment bankers, and technology start-ups. By facilitating these connections, the conference aims to spark new ideas for mobilizing capital markets to invest in insurance risk and offer a platform for reflecting on the challenges and opportunities currently facing the global risk transfer industry.
