Reinsurance Magazine has just announced the launch of a new event for the Bermuda reinsurance and insurance calendar - the Bermuda Reinsurance Club, to be held on March 17th, 2010.

The half-day event at the Hamilton Princess will be opened by Bermuda's Deputy Premier Paula Cox and will feature three discussions: the first on the New York Stock Exchange and what it will mean to Bermuda and London markets; a look at the Class of 2005 five years on; and panel on the age-old debate on Bermuda vs London and whether the rivalry is still there.

The event takes place on the morning of March 17, the day after the influential World Insurance Forum finishes.

The Bermuda Reinsurance Club event will be chaired by yours truly and Mairi Mallon of Rein4ce.

The panellists include: Barbara Merry, chief executive of Hardy Underwriting, AM Best's Senior Vice President of ratings Matt Mosher, Charles Dupplin, Chief Executive Officer of Hiscox Bermuda, Bradley Kading, president and executive director of the Association of Bermuda Insurers and Reinsurers (ABIR) and Neil McConachie President, and Chief Financial Officer of Lancashire Holdings Ltd.
