International Cyber Risk Management Conference Hosts Supporting Sponsor Kick-off Meeting at Bermuda BDA

Toronto, ON,  June 21, 2019/InsPress/ – The second annual International Cyber Risk Management Conference (ICRMC) Bermuda, presented by Canada’s MSA Research Inc, will take place December 4–6 at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, following a warm welcome from BDA to bring the event back to the island in 2019.

• Event organizers receive Supporting Sponsorship and advocacy from eight local organizations and associations
• Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) names ICRMC island’s exclusive cyber risk management event
• Two-day conference is themed Speaking a Common Language: From On-Boarding to the Board Room.

The ICRMC Bermuda program has been designed for corporate risk managers, corporate counsel, auditors, CISOs, CSOs, and CTOs, governance and claims professionals, insurers, reinsurers, insurance brokers and service providers. The BDA will once again be signature sponsor of the two-day cyber risk management conference of which the theme is Speaking a Common Language: From OnBoarding to the Board Room.

“We are very proud to bring ICRMC back to Bermuda where we, with the support of a stellar steering committee, will focus on cyber risk with an emphasis on re/insurance and risk-transfer solutions,” said Joel Baker, President and CEO of both MSA, the leading provider of Canadian insurance financial data, and the National Insurance Conference of Canada.

Baker and MSA Research COO and EVP, Marilyn Horrick, visited Bermuda over the past week not only to attend the Captives Conference and meet with sponsors and local members of its advisory committee (see photo), but also to speak about their event plans with leaders of the island’s risk-industry groups, including the Bermuda Insurance Management Association (BIMA), the Association of Bermuda International Companies (ABIC), Bermuda Captive Owners’ Association (BCOA), Bermuda International Long Term Insurers and Reinsurers (BILTIR), International Organization of Directors (IoD), Bermuda Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), and the Association of Bermuda Insurers & Reinsurers (ABIR), all eight of whom have come on board as ICRMC Supporting Sponsors.

“There’s no better location than Bermuda to host our vendor neutral ICRMC event,” commented Baker, “given Bermuda’s central place in the insurance, reinsurance and insurance-linked securities (ILS) arena,” continued Baker, who over several years, has forged relationships with many of the island’s business and industry leaders, “It aligns extremely well with the aims of the conference which is designed to serve the thought leadership and congregational needs of the global risk management community.”

“We’re excited to be returning to the ‘World’s Risk Capital’,” commented Horrick, “to work alongside the BDA team and an unparalleled group of Bermudian, US and Canadian contributors to bring this relevant forum to bear. It’s a professional privilege and a personal delight,” she added “to be working with such abundant talent and moreover, to benefit from the sound commitment of our Supporting Sponsors who will ensure we are visible to the risk management community and build upon last year’s success. We really couldn’t ask for a more collegial and supportive group of partners.”

“We’re extremely proud to have been a catalyst in bringing another relevant conference to Bermuda, particularly one of this calibre that also generates winter month hospitality activity for the island,” said Jereme Ramsay, BDA Business Development Manager for the risk sector. “Last year’s event was a success and the market demand remains high for this kind of conference—I’m excited to see the ICRMC thrive and grow in 2019.”
