Premier David Burt to Launch Bermuda Risk Summit 2026

The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) has officially announced that Premier David Burt will inaugurate the Bermuda Risk Summit 2026, taking place from March 9 to 11. This summit aims to unify leaders from various sectors to discuss the dynamic forces shaping global risks and economic resilience. The opening will be followed by a fireside chat featuring Minister of Economy and Labour, Jason Hayward, focusing on Bermuda's economic goals and international collaboration.

Amidst a backdrop of evolving geopolitical landscapes and shifting capital flows, Burt expresses that Bermuda's unique position facilitates meaningful dialogues that advance sustainable growth in the financial sector. “We are currently navigating a landscape of rapid transformation,” noted Burt, emphasizing the importance of addressing these challenges on a global stage. “The summit serves as a vital platform for experts to engage in discussions that impact our collective future.”

This year’s event will be hosted by Lorene Phillips, an accomplished performance architect with over 25 years in the insurance industry, who has moderated numerous high-profile discussions spanning both local and international arenas. The summit anticipates participation from senior figures within the insurance, capital markets, and regulatory sectors, as they assemble to explore themes such as alternative capital, economic stability, and the interconnected nature of global markets.
