The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) will host two more overseas multi-industry executive forums later this year.
The forums, which are intended to showcase the island’s talent pool and business opportunities, will take place in Miami, in mid-October, and in London, at the end of November.
The events will follow a similar format to the BDA’s previous forums and feature high-level experts across a variety of industry spheres.
Most recently, the BDA hosted a cross-sector event in New York, which brought together over 300 attendees and 60 industry executives from Bermuda to discuss a range of topics including tax, blockchain and insurance technology.
Interim BDA CEO Sean Moran said previous forums have been an extremely effective vehicle to bring all Bermuda’s industry talent together.
Moran added: “By producing these events ourselves, the BDA can leverage our impressive
pool of industry stakeholders, focus on timely themes and trends, and combine the breadth of
sectors that make Bermuda so unique, from shipping, funds, captives and reinsurance to
fintech and family offices.”
“It’s a successful formula—and a powerful story to tell.”
Jereme Ramsay, interim head of business development at the BDA, explained that the new events were focused on markets that had been attracting interest.
He said: “Miami is our gateway to Latin America for captive insurance, emerging technologies, and high-net-worth business, and major law firms with influential decision-makers there have Bermuda on their radar.”
“London is a longtime partner market for reinsurance, asset management, trust and private-client business, so it’s important to enhance those relationships and keep our presence felt.”
The London event will be the BDA’s second in the city, after they held their first international multi-industry forum on 28 November 2017.
Further details on the events, including dates, venues, and registration details, will be announced next month.
