Bermuda at the 2013 Risk Insurance and Management Society Conference

1. Bermuda at the 2013 Risk
Insurance and Management
Society Conference

2. As the chief operating officer of Ironshore,
Inc., a Bermuda-based company operating in
the international specialty insurance market,
Mitchell Blaser is very pleased with the
results of the island’s participation in the 2013
Risk Insurance and Management Society
(RIMS) Conference held in Los Angeles in
April. Along with many other island-based
business leaders, Mitch Blaser believes that
Bermuda, with its relative lack of legacy
issues connected to the global financial crisis,
has a great deal to offer during these
challenging economic times and should
maximize opportunities to promote itself.

3. At this year’s RIMS Conference, which had an
estimated attendance of 10,000 insurance and
reinsurance delegates, Bermuda’s booth featured
numerous prestigious industry figures, as well as the
island’s premier, finance minister, economic
development minister, and additional
representatives from the Bermuda Monetary
Authority. Highly visible branding helped keep the
island at the visual forefront of the conference, and
the more than 100 Bermuda representatives
networked and shared information with existing and
potential international business clients. These
representatives described a high level of interest
from conference attendees in Bermuda’s products
and services, which Mitch Blaser hopes will bode
well for business activities in the coming year.
