Today we are delighted to announce the first wave of speakers for our next insurance-linked securities conference. Tickets continue to sell fast for ILS NYC 2026 and with representatives of over 100 organisations already registered we anticipate the Early Bird rate will sell out ahead of schedule, so please get your ticket soon to secure this discounted rate.
The annual New York conference is our flagship ILS industry event of the year and among the biggest events in the world dedicated to the catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities asset class.
ILS NYC is well-known for the detailed discussions held on stage by our expert insurance-linked securities (ILS) market speakers and guests, the senior stature and relevance of the audience in attendance, as well as the quality of networking opportunities that run throughout the day.
We anticipate more than 400 attendees will join our ILS NYC conference in 2026 and the venue remains the same in central Midtown.
The event website now features an outline of the agenda/break timings for the day, to help you in planning for the conference.
Today though, we want to highlight our first four confirmed expert speakers for the conference. We are delighted to have the following joining us on February 6th in New York:
Lorenzo Volpi, Deputy CEO, Managing Partner, Leadenhall Capital Partners LLP.
Kathleen Faries, CEO, Artex Capital Solutions.
Philipp Kusche, Chairman HCMA Europe, Global Co-Head ILS, Howden Capital Markets & Advisory.
Michael Stahel, Partner/Portfolio Manager, LGT ILS Partners Ltd.
These are four extremely experienced speakers, all of whom have unique insights into the catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities markets and we look forward to hearing them join the discussions at ILS NYC 2026.
We will make regular speaker announcements over the coming weeks and begin revealing our session topics as well, so stay tuned.
With attendees already registered for the ILS NYC 2026 conference from more than 100 organisations and ticket sales running well-ahead of last year, we advise you to secure your place to join us soon.
To give you an idea for how tickets are selling, if the sales rate from now to the event were the same as last year we would run out of space well before the day of the conference this time.
Register soon to ensure you can join us and take advantage of the Early Bird rate while it lasts.
So, on February 6th 2026 we will be back in New York to host another full-day of detailed discussions on the catastrophe bond and wider insurance-linked securities (ILS) market, with a focus on strengthening the resilience of the asset class to continue supporting global risk capital needs.
As ILS market participants look to continue developing and expanding the asset class, the industry and investors will gather again at Artemis ILS NYC 2026 to discuss the state of the market, opportunities for improvement and how to continue on a sustainable growth curve that both meets investor risk-return targets and tolerances, while also supporting the growing need for global risk capital and resilience.
Artemis ILS NYC 2026 will be a fantastic opportunity to meet and network with representatives of the majority of ILS market expert organisations, as well as sponsors, cedents, end-investors and service providers, both from across the US market and around the world.
Please register soon to join us.
ILS capital has become a critical support for global insurance and reinsurance markets and global resilience as a result.
Hence, resilience within the ILS industry and its infrastructure also needs to remain high, so it can continue playing a supportive and growing role in risk capital and reinsurance markets. The resilience of the ILS industry is exhibited through and accentuated by both the robust structures and products used to deploy capital and the discipline ILS managers and investors adopt, topics we will touch on at ILS NYC 2026.
Expect forward-looking discussions between insurance-linked securities (ILS) industry experts, delivering the quality of content you’ve learned to anticipate from us at Artemis.
As ever with our New York conference, we’ll host four main panel sessions for detailed discussion on the ILS market and the day ends with a Q&A session featuring our four expert moderators, which is always lively and insightful.
Get your ticket to attend today.
