Flagship event will bring together industry leaders and professionals for a day of connection, insight and career development.

Hamilton, Bermuda – Women in Reinsurance Bermuda (WiRe) today announced the launch of ReWiRe, its inaugural flagship event for women working across the reinsurance industry.

Taking place on Thursday, 29 October 2026, at the Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club, ReWiRe will convene women from across Bermuda’s reinsurance community for a day of thought-provoking discussion, technical insight, professional development and meaningful connection.

Designed for women at every stage of their career, from emerging professionals to senior leaders, the one-day event will provide a space to step back from the everyday, engage with peers and explore the opportunities shaping the future of the industry. Participants will leave with new ideas, stronger relationships and greater confidence for what comes next.

ReWiRe is proud to be supported by several founding event sponsors, whose partnership is helping bring this inaugural conference to life and invest in the future of women in reinsurance. WiRe extends its sincere thanks to Headline Sponsors Aflac Re and RenaissanceRe, Platinum Sponsors AXA XL, Brit Re and Vantage Risk, Gold Sponsors Oliver Wyman and Pelagos Insurance Capital and Silver Sponsor Liberty Mutual, for their commitment to leadership, connection and meaningful progress across the industry.

Peta White, Chair of WiRe Bermuda and President of Vantage Risk, commented:

“When we started thinking about ReWiRe, we asked ourselves what would make women in our industry want to take a day out of their busy schedules to be there. We wanted something more than a conference; a day of honest conversations, sharp insight from industry experts, and genuine connection for women at every stage of their careers. As WiRe's new signature event, we want every attendee to leave feeling energised, connected and equipped to make their next move with confidence. I'm proud of what the WiRe team is building, and I can't wait to see the room come together this October."

The programme will feature keynote presentations, industry and leadership panels, interactive breakout sessions, technical and professional development content, and dedicated networking throughout the day. Discussions will examine the macroeconomic and geopolitical shifts reshaping risk and markets, the evolution of third-party capital, leadership and career progression, financial wellbeing and the changing demands of a modern reinsurance career.

WiRe is also pleased to announce that June Sarpong OBE will deliver the inaugural keynote. An internationally recognised broadcaster, award-winning author and former Global Director of Creative Diversity at the BBC, Sarpong is a leading voice on leadership, inclusion and culture transformation. Her keynote will explore how women can develop their presence and authority, lead authentically and help shape the next phase of their careers and the industry.

Early registration will be offered exclusively to WiRe members at a member rate of US$350, ahead of registration opening to the wider market. Earlybird spaces are limited.

WiRe membership is free and open to professional women working in reinsurance, as well as those whose roles involve daily interaction with the industry, including professionals in legal, regulatory, financial, broking and analytics fields.
