BDA Participates in 60th Annual Florida Insurance Council Summer Symposium

BDA Chair and CEO to Celebrate, Reinforce Longstanding Partnership Between Florida and Bermuda, the World’s Risk Capital

HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) is proud to support the 60^th annual Florida Insurance Council (FIC) Summer Symposium on July 26-28, in Orlando, Florida.

The FIC programme will include state legislators, the Office of Insurance Regulation and other industry speakers including BDA Chair, Stephen Weinstein and BDA CEO, David Hart.

Mr. Weinstein said, “Since Hurricane Andrew, Bermuda’s (re)insurance market has been the preeminent partner to Florida insurers, supporting the market with capital, risk expertise, and an ethos of collaboration. Today, Bermuda (re)insurers provide over 60% of the hurricane reinsurance in Florida, support efforts to reform and strengthen Florida’s insurance market, and invest in and share cutting edge science to boost hurricane resilience and promote mitigation. Over 30 years, the Bermuda and Florida markets have tackled many challenges together and shared many successes. We look forward to seeing so many business, legislative, and regulatory leaders in person over the course of FIC’s outstanding programme, and exploring the next cycle of growth in our partnership.”

Mr. Hart said, “As a sixth generation Floridian, I have seen first-hand the benefits that Bermuda’s (re)insurance market offers Florida’s economy, and I am proud to represent Bermuda and the BDA at the FIC’s Summer Symposium. As we enter peak hurricane season, our Chair and I will highlight Bermuda’s continued value proposition as the world’s risk capital to the largest gathering of Florida’s domestic insurers. We thank FIC President, Cecil Pearce, for the speaking invitation and look forward to a large gathering of Florida-based companies and executives visiting us for our second annual Bermuda Risk Summit being held at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club on March 6-8, 2023.”
