Re/insurance Outlook Europe 2023 | Newton Media Group | 18 June 2023 | Park Hyatt Zurich, Beethovenstrasse 21, 8002 Zürich, Switzerland

Against a backdrop of one of the toughest year-end renewals the industry has seen in decades, this conference will examine the structural changes taking place in the European markets as a result of a plethora of forces ranging from inflation to climate change to consolidation.

We will look at the dynamic between re/insurers and buyers and whether the key changes being sought in contracts, including higher retentions and a focus on single-peril coverages, came to pass, or whether a compromise was reached.

Whatever the outcome, longer-term forces such as higher expected losses, climate change and changes to the retrocessional market mean a longer-term evolution for the market.

Core themes addressing the top challenges for Re/insurers in 2023

MACROECONOMICS & GEOPOLITICS
• Address current and future threats—energy, war, inflation, supply chain—and develop innovative mitigation strategies to thrive in a volatile risk environment.

CLIMATE RISK
• Accelerate climate risk mitigation and ESG frameworks to deliver growth with valuable products and services for clients.

PRICING & CAPITAL
• Tackle pricing and capital pressures head-on to make sound pricing decisions and unlock capital via third parties for new and evolving risks.

SYSTEMIC RISK & CYBER RISK
• Confront interconnected risks to manage aggregation and explore non-traditional risk transfer to drive resilience and profitability
