Cyber Insurance Week Europe 2027: Where the cyber insurance industry comes together

The cyber insurance industry is evolving rapidly. Risks are changing, new exposures are emerging and the questions facing insurers, brokers, reinsurers, MGAs and corporate risk leaders are becoming increasingly complex.

But with that change comes an equally important need: to come together, exchange experiences, challenge thinking and build the relationships that will help shape the market's future.

That is exactly what Cyber Insurance Week Europe 2027 is designed to do.

Returning to London from February 1-3, 2027, Intelligent Insurer’s Cyber Insurance Week will bring together more than 700 expected attendees from across the global cyber insurance ecosystem for three days of conference, networking, industry debate and recognition.

This is where the cyber insurance industry gathers.

From senior executives and underwriters to brokers, reinsurers, MGAs, CISOs, cyber security specialists, claims leaders, lawyers and risk managers, the week creates a meeting point for the people working across every part of the cyber insurance value chain.

It is an opportunity to reconnect with industry peers, meet new people, exchange perspectives and have the conversations that matter, whether in the conference room, over coffee, at a roundtable or during one of the many networking opportunities throughout the week.

 Three days. Four events. One City.

Cyber Insurance Week Europe brings together several key industry gatherings, creating a broader opportunity for the market to meet, connect and do business.

At its centre is the 5th Annual Cyber Risk & Insurance Innovation Europe, a two-day conference bringing together senior leaders to examine the risks, challenges and opportunities reshaping the cyber insurance market.

The programme goes beyond the headlines to explore the practical questions facing the industry. Who is carrying the risk? How are insurers responding to increasingly interconnected exposures? Where are the gaps in protection? How can the industry improve resilience, manage accumulation and develop sustainable approaches to emerging risks?

Alongside the conference, the week includes:

Cyber Insurance Awards Europe: Celebrating the companies, teams and individuals making a difference across the cyber insurance market.

Women & Allies in Cyber Insurance Breakfast: Bringing industry leaders together for an open conversation about talent, sponsorship, leadership and the next generation of cyber insurance.

Pre-conference networking mixer: An opportunity to meet fellow delegates and reconnect with industry peers ahead of the main conference.

Workshops, roundtables and closed-door discussions: Creating space for more focused exchanges, including an interactive cyber crisis simulation and a quantum risk masterclass.

Together, these events offer more than a conference programme. They provide multiple opportunities to engage with the people, ideas and organisations shaping the market.

 The conversations shaping the cyber insurance market

The 2027 programme will tackle some of the most important and challenging questions facing the industry.

As artificial intelligence transforms both cyber threats and defensive capabilities, delegates will explore the implications for underwriting, liability, claims and risk management. Quantum computing is also moving further up the industry’s agenda, raising questions about encryption vulnerabilities, future insurability and how the market should prepare today for tomorrow’s exposures.

Systemic risk and accumulation remain central concerns. As businesses become increasingly dependent on interconnected cloud providers, software platforms and third-party suppliers, the potential for a single incident to trigger widespread losses continues to challenge insurers and risk modellers.

Other discussions will examine cyber-physical exposures, the growing importance of operational technology security, evolving claims trends, the changing role of incident response and the opportunities for the industry to move beyond risk transfer towards stronger prevention and resilience.

The programme will also create opportunities for delegates to get beyond presentations and take part in more focused, practical discussions, sharing experiences and perspectives with peers facing similar challenges.

The emphasis is on real industry experience, meaningful debate and conversations that delegates can take back into their businesses.

 Making the most of being in London

A central part of the week is the opportunity to connect beyond the formal conference sessions.

A dedicated Cyber Networking Hub will give delegates a place to arrange one-to-one meetings, catch up with colleagues, meet new contacts and continue conversations throughout the programme.

With attendees expected from across the UK, continental Europe, the USA, Israel and other international markets, the event provides an opportunity to build relationships across geographical boundaries and different parts of the cyber insurance ecosystem.

Whether the objective is to develop new business relationships, exchange underwriting perspectives, explore potential partnerships, meet clients or simply hear how others are approaching the same challenges, the value of being in the room extends well beyond the conference agenda.

 Why this edition matters

Helen Raff, Director of Events at Intelligent Insurer , said:

“The strength of Cyber Insurance Week is the industry itself. Each year, we bring together more of the people working across the cyber insurance ecosystem, creating an environment where meaningful conversations happen, relationships develop and different perspectives can be shared.

“The market is facing some significant challenges and opportunities, and there is real value in having the right people in the room to discuss them openly. We want delegates to leave with new connections, fresh thinking and insights they can put into practice, as well as having had the opportunity to reconnect with the people who make this industry what it is.

“Cyber Insurance Week is about bringing the industry together, and we look forward to welcoming everyone to London in February.”
