2026 SIFM Annual Conference

The New Risk Landscape: Rethinking Insurance in an Unstable World
In a world defined by volatility, insurers are confronting a new reality: risks are no longer isolated, predictable, or contained. They are systemic, interconnected, and accelerating. This year’s program brings together the industry’s most influential executives, strategists, economists, and risk leaders to explore how insurance must evolve.
Over three days, conference attendees will explore how the insurance leaders must rethink risk, capital, and leadership to thrive in a volatile world. What you can expect to learn:
- Systemic Risk: From climate to geopolitics, shocks now cascade across market
- Economic Volatility: Higher-for-longer rates and inflation are reshaping underwriting and investment
- Capital Evolution: Alternative capital and private credit are redefining strategy
- Leadership in Uncertainty: New decision making frameworks for ambiguous environments
The sessions will provide insights into the shifting insurance landscape, equipping attendees with the knowledge needed to navigate challenges and seize new opportunities. The conference is also an excellent networking opportunity, fostering connections among peers and industry leaders.
