The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) is pleased to announce that its second annual Bermuda Risk Summit, held from March 6-8, attracted 450 attendees, including over 150 business visitors.
The Bermuda Risk Summit creates long-term business development growth potential, in terms of deal-making opportunities occurring around the event in front of an extremely important June 1/July 1 renewal season for Bermuda’s reinsurance sector.

This figure includes approximately 100+ additional visitors who flew to Bermuda for business meetings or ancillary events taking place this week around the Bermuda Risk Summit. Our inaugural event, held March 14-16, 2022, attracted 350 delegates, 80 from overseas, had an economic impact $1 million, and supported around 200 jobs.

We especially want to thank all of the overseas visitors that made the journey to attend our event.
