Convergence between the insurance industry and the capital markets is now a reality. Insurance-linked securities are dramatically changing the landscape of the European insurance and reinsurance market. The cat bond market has already experienced significant growth - between 2005 and 2006 alone, it rocketed from $1.99bn to $4.69bn (AM Best) - and the wider ILS market is set to follow suit. In the last five years alone the total volume of ILS outstanding has grown three-fold and is expected to grow to $1trln over the next decade (Swiss Re).

What's more, the European Union Commission has now released the first draft directive of Solvency II - the most far-reaching change to the framework governing insurance companies in the EU for over 20 years. This will encourage more risks to be securitised by allowing you to reduce your capital requirements.

Once successfully implemented, this new legislation has the potential to truly enhance your performance, increase your competitiveness and make a significant contribution to your bottom line.

But like most new legislation, it's not all plain sailing - there will be winners and losers and its imperative to know what you can do to make sure your ILS story is about success.

You're probably already aware of what rapid growth in ILS is likely to mean for you - but you always keep a close eye on the latest transactions and newest risks to be securitised.

This summit gives you a great opportunity to learn and network with your industry peers. It is also the best opportunity to pick the brains of some of the world's most respected authorities in the ILS and cat bond market about the latest transactions, current market climate, new risks and recent trends.
