The City of London Corporation is excited to partner with industry on the inaugural Risk Summit proposed for 21 May 2025 at the Guildhall in the City of London. We are looking for a minimum of 15 partners from across the risk industry to represent the London Market and to support this initiative to ensure it is a cross-industry event.
Read below for more information about the opportunities for event partners to get involved, help shape the agenda and share their perspectives on how to make this a world-class summit.
The City of London Corporation will host the inaugural Risk Summit, as part of an interactive, in-person week of engagements and events hosted across the City to showcase London’s risk management expertise to an international audience. The aim is to attract business leaders and all those in the sector to drive innovation and address the challenges of the future risks felt in all global boardrooms. This event will form part of the incoming (subject to election) Lord Mayor’s mayoral theme of Growth Unleashed, which includes work to challenge the industry to maximise opportunities through responsible risk-taking.
Date: 21 May 2025 Location: The Guildhall, City of London Format: A full-day, interactive, invite-only in-person summit featuring thematic working groups, multiple networking opportunities (including drinks reception), and leadership keynotes, featuring global leaders across sectors. A VIP invite-only dinner for 80 distinguished guests will follow the summit Audience: The summit will convene 300 – 350 high-level participants, including major international risk buyers/corporates, brokers (both US and international), cross-sector risk managers, CEOs and Chief Risk Officers, and Chief Underwriting officers
The day will focus on 5 key thematic risk areas:
These risks will all be considered in terms of future innovative solutions and opportunities to showcase the London Market as the home of innovative risk management, but also with key enablers in mind such as technology and talent. We will address issues such as protection gaps and the role that industry can play in ensuring risks that global businesses can understand are facing.
We are seeking a minimum of 15 partners from across the risk industry to represent the London Market and to support the inaugural Risk Summit. These partners will help us shape the summit's programme, drive attendance, and ensure that it’s an industry-supported event.
As we are planning for this to be a weeklong programme, we would encourage partners to also consider additional activities they may wish to put on for traveling clients personally. We would be happy to promote non-conflicting events as part of the broader programme.
The City of London Corporation is committed to conducting a fair and transparent process to ensure companies are given equal opportunity to be involved with our Summit.
If you would like to apply to be a partner of the inaugural Risk Summit, please complete the online form by 20th September 2024 with as much information as possible.
