Save the date for our annual Champagne reception in Monte Carlo.

The reception takes place in the same week as the 68th Les Rendez-Vous de Septembre (5 – 9 September 2026), when representatives from the global reinsurance market meet to hold bilateral discussions ahead of the renewal of insurance treaties.

Representatives from Guernsey's specialist insurance industry are looking forward to updating you on developments within the sector.

The reception will offer insights into how the latest trends are impacting global insurance markets, and how Guernsey’s role is adapting to meet market needs.  

Guernsey’s insurance sector is pioneering and innovative, with the jurisdiction boasting a position of leadership in the structuring and execution of alternative risk transfer.
