George Town, Grand Cayman – PwC Cayman is proud to announce its continued participation as a gold sponsor in the highly anticipated ReConnect 2026 conference, set to take place from 16 to 17 April 2026, at the Ritz Carlton in the Cayman Islands.
ReConnect, Cayman’s premier reinsurance gathering, will convene senior executives, regulators, industry leaders, experts, and innovators from multiple jurisdictions to explore how the reinsurance markets are evolving and where they are heading, with a special focus on the reinsurance industry landscape in the Cayman Islands.
The Cayman Islands has cemented its position as a dynamic hub for reinsurance, supported by regulatory stability, robust capital markets, and a commitment to innovation. ReConnect 2026 will delve into key issues impacting the sector, including role of private assets, AI, evolving regulatory frameworks, actuarial trends, climate resiliency and geopolitical forces.
A PwC subject matter expert will participate on one of the panel discussions, sharing perspectives on the role of AI and innovation. Jesvir Harkoo, Partner, Risk Modelling Services at PwC, will take part in a panel on AI adoption and its impact on (re)insurance. The conversation will examine macro trends driving adoption, the practical challenges companies face in implementation and potential solutions to those challenges.
In addition to Jesvir, there will be five other visiting international PwC colleagues, with expertise across actuarial, tax and transformation, attending the conference, underscoring PwC’s global presence and commitment to the event.
The conference is also expected to highlight the growing role of asset-intensive reinsurance in shaping the Cayman Islands as a key hub for capital-efficient, asset-driven reinsurance solutions. A new PwC report highlights that asset-intensive reinsurance (“AIR”) is set to play an increasingly pivotal role as insurers and reinsurers evolve toward more capital-efficient, asset-driven models in a complex and competitive market.
Success in AIR will depend on firms’ ability to build advanced capabilities across origination, structuring, pricing, and integrated asset-liability and capital management, supported by cutting-edge technologies such as AI, to drive returns, manage risk, and deploy capital efficiently in an increasingly competitive market.
“The Cayman Islands has established itself as an adaptive, forward-looking global reinsurance centre. With the number of reinsurance entities nearly doubling over five years, the market’s resilience is reinforced by a commitment to embrace innovation, particularly AI. PwC is focused on how AI-powered models and automation can unlock new efficiencies, improve risk transfer mechanisms, enhance actuarial precision, and elevate sustainability efforts across the sector. ”
As a returning gold sponsor, PwC Cayman is committed to supporting the industry’s growth by providing insights and strategic guidance that empower stakeholders to navigate change confidently. Learn more and register for ReConnect here.
