The challenges posed to insurers by the dislocation in the credit and equity markets will form the backdrop to the third annual Property/casualty insurance/reinsurance conference held at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess hotel next week.

The event, which is sponsored by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and PricewaterhouseCoopers will be held on Wednesday November 12 and Thursday November 13, and will focus on the topic of 'Embracing Change: Adapting to New Economic and Regulatory Realities'.

The conference panels will look at the issues created by recent market events, such as Catastrophe Loss Modeling, Insurance-Linked Securities and Capital Market Developments, Financial Market Disruptions and the Pricing Cycle, Enterprise Risk Management, Globalisation of Regulation and Mergers and Acquisitions.
