The Bermuda Institute of Landscape and Tourism (BILTIR) hosted its largest conference yet in Hamilton, drawing over 2,000 professionals from the global reinsurance market. The event, held at the Grand Hotel on St. George’s Street, highlighted the island’s continued leadership in the reinsurance industry.

Industry leaders—including representatives from Bermuda’s top reinsurers and international insurers—delivered keynote remarks on the evolving risk landscape, climate change impacts, and the role of technology in underwriting. A panel discussion featuring local executives from the Bermuda Reinsurance Group and the Bermuda International Insurance Association underscored the importance of the island’s regulatory framework and its reputation for transparency.

The conference also showcased how Bermuda’s market infrastructure supports emerging sectors such as cyber‑risk and climate‑related financial products. A round‑table session on sustainable investment strategies attracted attention from both local and foreign investors.

Economically, the event added an estimated $10 million to the island’s tourism and hospitality sectors, as participants stayed in a range of hotels and dined at local restaurants. The BILTIR conference reaffirms Bermuda’s position as a central hub for global reinsurance, while reinforcing the island’s commitment to innovation and resilience in the face of a rapidly changing risk environment.
