This conference was Artemis' largest insurance-linked securities (ILS) event to-date, with over 390 registered attendees enjoying a wide-range of insightful speaking sessions and networking opportunities throughout the day. 

Attendees came from around the world to hear thought-provoking discussions from insurance-linked securities (ILS) market leaders, all under the theme of "(Re)construction & Renewal(s)." 

This second session from our ILS NYC 2023 conference features a panel discussion focused on the private ILS and collateralized reinsurance side of the market, titled: (Re)building confidence. 

The panel discussion was moderated by Mark Gibson, Head of Products & Solutions ILS, Schroders Capital.

The panellists discussed some of the challenges this side of the market has faced in recent years, while also highlighting steps that have been taken to help in rebuilding investor confidence and also looked ahead to the prospects for a return to growth.
