The Artemis ILS Asia 2024 conference brought together attendees from over 90 organizations in Singapore on July 11, 2024, from 08:00 to 19:00, including a networking drinks reception. The event, held at the Suntec Convention Centre, focused on the catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) market in the Asia Pacific region, offering a full day of educational and inspirational talks alongside valuable networking opportunities.

A Growing Interest in ILS

Held at the Suntec Convention Centre, the conference marked its sixth in-person edition in Singapore, a return to the city after successful events in previous years. This year saw the largest-ever participation from local institutional investors, family offices, and asset managers, accounting for over one-third of the organizations present. The increased local involvement shows the growing interest in the ILS asset class within the region.

The event aimed to educate and connect professionals interested in the ILS asset class, featuring discussions on collateralized reinsurance structures, reinsurance-linked investment strategies, and the future of risk transfer, with a specific focus on Asia. Attendees gained insights into the latest trends and developments, supporting a deeper understanding of the ILS market’s potential in the region.

Renewing Growth Opportunities

Artemis, the conference organizer, strives to create events that are both informative and engaging, featuring expert speakers, insightful content, and valuable networking opportunities. The 2024 edition followed successful conferences held in 2023, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016. Last year’s ILS Asia 2023 conference attracted nearly 200 attendees, further cementing Artemis’s reputation as a leading platform for ILS education and networking in the region.
