Industry leaders from AXA XL, Munich Re, Swiss Re to headline 19th SIRC

The Singapore International Reinsurance Conference (SIRC), one of the key re/insurance events globally, is set to make its return this autumn with a notable selection of senior industry leaders.

The 19th SIRC will be held from October 30 to November 2 at Singapore’s Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands.

The organising committee Singapore Reinsurers’ Association (SRA) has revealed more senior industry leaders from AXA XL, Munich Re and Swiss Re who will be joining the strong cast of speakers and panellists who will be featured at this year’s 19th SIRC. These include executives from Allianz Re, AXA XL, Gallagher Re, Guy Carpenter, Howden Specialty, Verisk, Lloyd’s, GIC Re, J.B. Boda, Korean Re, Moody’s RMS, Odyssey Re, Aspen Re, AM Best and S&P Global Ratings.

The SRA had earlier announced that Jean-Jacques Henchoz, CEO of Hannover Re will be the industry keynote speaker on the opening day of the conference, which will focus on the theme ‘(Re)insurance Reset’.

SRA chair Marc Haushofer, said: “We are very pleased to have on board Mr Renaud Guidee, CEO Reinsurance at AXA XL; Mr Achim Kassow, Member of the Management Board at Munich Re; and Mr Urs Baertschi, CEO P&C Reinsurance of Swiss Re as panellists on the CEO Roundtable, which will kick-off proceedings on the second morning.

“This is an extremely strong slate of senior industry leaders who will be participating in the Roundtable, which will be moderated by Mr James Vickers, Chairman International at Gallagher Re. I believe the session will certainly spark highly interactive and incisive discussions on the state of the industry!”

SRA executive director Jeffrey Yeo, added. “Bookings for the exhibition desk and meeting room space on the conference floor continues to be brisk with over 80% of the available space already taken up. However, the meeting tables at the Lloyd’s Coffee House and S&P Global SweetSpot are currently still available.”
