The Singapore Reinsurers' Association (SRA) has opened registration for the 21st edition of the Singapore International Reinsurance Conference (SIRC), scheduled to take place Nov. 3-6 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre.
This year’s conference is expected to attract over 3,000 delegates, following a record turnout in 2024. Last year, the event drew more than 3,300 participants representing 160 companies from 69 countries. Of these, 88% held senior executive roles, reinforcing the event’s role as a global meeting point for industry leaders.
The 2025 conference will introduce a CEO Roundtable, an invitation-only session aimed at facilitating closed-door discussions among senior executives. The roundtable will address strategic issues in a reinsurance market navigating heightened complexity and rapid change.
Under the theme “Staying Ahead, Future Ready,” this year’s SIRC will explore the industry's approach to emerging risks and the structural shifts required to adapt. The theme emphasizes the need for the sector to anticipate challenges and transform in response to evolving global dynamics.
The conference will feature keynote addresses and panel discussions focusing on how reinsurance intersects global economic uncertainty, climate-related risk, and the rise of alternative risk transfer strategies.
Sessions will also examine how data analytics and artificial intelligence are influencing underwriting and risk modeling, as well as how digital innovation is reshaping operational models across the reinsurance value chain.
Kenrick Law (pictured above), chair of the SRA, said that the industry must not rely solely on reactive measures.
“In an increasingly complex risk landscape, reinsurance must evolve to remain relevant by embracing innovation, investing in talent, and strengthening collaboration across borders. This year’s SIRC provides the platform for these critical conversations to happen,” Law said.
The SRA is an industry body formed in 1988 to promote the interests of reinsurers operating in Singapore. It works to support professional development, foster industry standards, and advance Singapore’s standing as a reinsurance center. Beyond SIRC, the association also engages with regulators and global reinsurers to contribute to policy discussions and sector advancement.
Established in 1991, SIRC has grown into one of the most prominent gatherings in the reinsurance calendar. The conference has become a regular touchpoint for global reinsurers, brokers, and insurance professionals to review industry trends, discuss strategic developments, and engage in dialogue ahead of the renewal season.
Over its three-decade history, the event has played a significant role in promoting Singapore as a reinsurance hub in Asia and facilitating cross-border collaboration.
Jeslyn Tan, executive director of the SRA, said the event will center on building preparedness through informed discussion.
“We believe being future-ready starts with asking better questions, forging stronger collaborations, and sharing insights that move us all forward,” Tan said.
