A great conference in a great location. Rarely is networking as enjoyable as at IQPC’s excellent ILS Summit in Bermuda.
- Craig Seitel, CEO, Abacus Settlements
I think that we are on course for 25% annual growth over the next few years. The conditions are right for this. Not only is the overall potential for ILS activity high, but issuers and investors seem to be synchronized in their plans for growth for the first time in many years.
- John Seo, Managing Principal, Fermat Capital, 2009
It was very well attended and the discussions were very interesting. The organization of the event was perfect.
- Urs Ramseier, Head of Insurance-Linked Securities, Horizon 21 T
The conference was great and I learned a lot of new things, especially within the pre-conference workshops! I think you did a fantastic job in pulling everything together, the speakers had excellent experience and knowledge. Keep up the good work!

This is THE must attend ILS event. So many people attend the event; the networking part is one of the main benefits.
