DWIC 2026 MOVED TO DECEMBER 2026


We are incredibly grateful for the strength of this community and for the trust you continue to place in us as the organiser of DWIC. Following the poll 74% of our delegation voted in favour of December for this special edition of DWIC.

Together Through Uncertainty
Closing the Year. Strengthening Partnerships. Building Resilience.
As the global reinsurance community gathers in Dubai at the close of an extraordinary year, this event provides an opportunity to reflect, reconnect and reaffirm the partnerships that underpin our industry. Against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty, evolving
risk and economic volatility, the conference will explore how collaboration, trust and shared expertise enable the market to respond to increasingly complex challenges.

“With its unique ability to bring together global insurers, reinsurers, brokers, and consultants, DWIC is more than a conference — it is a melting pot of expertise, ambition, and opportunity.”

THE PLACE TO DO BUSINESS


Since it’s launch in 2017, DWIC has focused on providing senior insurance executives with a platform to meet and do business. Working with brokers, insurers and reinsurers, DWIC 2025 reinforced its position as the regional focal point for (re) insurance transactions.

NETWORK


As well as a great place to meet existing clients, DWIC offers attendees the opportunity to make new contacts. In 2025, DWIC saw more than 8,000 meetings pre-scheduled via the online Meeting Hub Portal.

LEARN


DWIC is a great place to hear from internationally renowned thought leaders. Our 2026 line-up of Lightning Talks plus closed-door roundtable discussions will tackle the topics and themes of the moment.

Launching September 2026

REINSURANCE 2036: THE NEXT DECADE STARTS NOW


Under the theme “Reinsurance 2036: The Next Decade Starts Now,” DWIC will bring together global industry leaders to explore how the reinsurance market can build resilience in an era of geopolitical uncertainty, climate volatility, technological disruption and evolving capital markets. Through keynote presentations, executive panels and leadership discussions, delegates will examine the forces shaping the global risk landscape—from geopolitical fragmentation and emerging systemic risks to the future of reinsurance capital, underwriting in an increasingly volatile world, and the changing expectations of investors, clients and regulators.
