The 21st Singapore International Reinsurance Conference (SIRC) will bring together global reinsurance leaders in November to examine how geopolitical tensions, sustainability imperatives, and artificial intelligence are reshaping the industry’s future.
Organised by the Singapore Reinsurers’ Association (SRA), the four-day event will be held from 3 to 6 November 2025 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre under the theme “Staying Ahead, Future Ready.” The programme aims to address structural shifts affecting the global market, from economic fragmentation to technological transformation.
“As we mark the 21st edition of the Singapore International Reinsurance Conference, we are proud that SIRC has grown into one of the key global meeting points for the reinsurance industry. Each year, it provides a platform to exchange insights, forge meaningful connections, and collectively drive the industry forward,” Kenrick Law, Chair of the SRA, said in a press release issued 10 October.
Guest-of-Honour Chia Der Jiun, Managing Director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, will deliver the opening keynote, followed by Lloyd’s of London Chief Executive Officer Patrick Tiernan, in his first major address in Asia since taking office in May 2025.
The second day will focus on macroeconomic volatility and the industry’s role in driving sustainability. Panels will feature speakers including Allianz SE board member Chris Townsend, Marsh McLennan Asia’s Joan Collar, QBE Asia’s Robert Kosova, and Swiss Re’s Gianfranco Lot, discussing topics from shifting capital flows to embedding climate resilience into underwriting.
Artificial intelligence will take centre stage on Day 3, with discussions on how data analytics and automation are redefining underwriting, claims, and workforce capabilities. Speakers include Swiss Re’s Andrea Scascighini, Beazley’s Beth Diamond, Berkley Re Asia Pacific’s Glen Riddell, and Prudential Assurance Company Singapore’s Neetha Nair.
Jeslyn Tan, Executive Director of the SRA, said: “This year’s programme reflects our commitment to keeping discussions both globally relevant and regionally grounded, with sustainability and talent at the core. We look forward to welcoming delegates from around the world to Singapore once again with a platform to gain clarity, drive collaboration and build confidence.”
