EY's Renewed Commitment to Bermuda Risk Summit 2026

In a significant reaffirmation of support, EY has announced its return as a headline sponsor for the 2026 Bermuda Risk Summit, marking its fifth consecutive year in this role. This alliance highlights EY's dedication to enhancing Bermuda's reputation as a pivotal hub for risk management and insurance expertise.

The Bermuda Risk Summit, organized by the Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA), is set to take place from March 9 to March 11, 2026, at the prestigious Hamilton Princess Beach Club. The event aims to gather distinguished leaders from various sectors, including insurance, reinsurance, insurance-linked securities (ILS), and capital markets, to discuss emerging trends and future challenges within the risk landscape.

Kendaree Burgess, the Managing Director of the BDA, expressed that EY's longstanding partnership serves as a significant endorsement for Bermuda's risk industry and underscores the value delivered by the summit. "This event is a gathering of influential leaders where meaningful relationships facilitate real-world outcomes, including investments and partnerships. Each year, we witness tangible results—companies choosing Bermuda as a base and crucial issues being addressed with actionable solutions. We are excited to work with EY to deliver another outstanding event in 2026," she stated, emphasizing the collaborative achievements made possible through this partnership.

Craig Redcliffe, Partner at EY Bermuda Ltd. and Regional Insurance Leader, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the importance of this summit in the global (re)insurance calendar. According to him, the event not only provides unique access to crucial market intelligence and decision-makers but also fosters innovative discussions that contribute to shaping the future of the market.

The significance of the Bermuda Risk Summit is underlined by the impressive turnout at the 2025 event, which attracted over 400 delegates from 17 countries. This gathering resulted in strong business outcomes, signaling a boost in hotel occupancy, air travel to the island, and overall commerce, while igniting discussions around new business formations and potential investments.

With registration for the upcoming 2026 summit officially open, attendees have early-bird access to a registration rate of $595 until February 9, 2026, after which the fee will increase to $695. Additionally, further sponsorship and speaking opportunities are available for organizations looking to engage more deeply with the audience at this prominent event.

To ensure accommodation during the summit, potential attendees can book their stay at the Hamilton Princess Beach Club either online or by contacting the hotel directly, referencing the booking code 'Risk 326' for preferred rates.

As the countdown begins for the 2026 Bermuda Risk Summit, the collaboration between EY and the BDA is set to further elevate Bermuda's status in the global risk landscape, creating opportunities for meaningful dialogue and sustainable solutions in the ever-evolving domain of risk management.
