Baden-Baden Reinsurance Meeting 2026

The annual Baden-Baden Reinsurance Meeting is one of the most important conventions worldwide for reinsurance and insurance industry experts to discuss the renewal of contracts in face-to-face meetings and to conduct risk assessments ahead of the main renewal and new business period in January.

During the Baden-Baden Reinsurance Meeting usually up to 3,000 European and international industry specialists and experts meet at various venues in the city centre of Baden-Baden to discuss the renewal of contracts in individual meetings with their clients and partners and carry out risk assessments, prior to the peak renewal and new business period in January. The focus of the decentralised event is on individual exchange in personal discussions and meetings organised by the delegates themselves. Therefore, only professionals, who belong to the narrowly defined target group of reinsurance and insurance companies, insurance brokers, cedents as well as experts from the corresponding scientific fields and technology service providers are admitted as delegates.

Historically, until 1978, the Baden-Baden Reinsurance Meeting was known for many years as the annual “German Marine Conference”. From 1979 onwards, this event was no longer held in Baden-Baden, but the reinsurers, insurers and brokers continued to meet in Baden-Baden every year in the last week of October. Since then, the Colonia Group and later AXA Cessions started to publish a list of attendees from insurers and reinsurers. In 1995, The Review and Compre Group began its efforts to compile a list of all other participants in the annual convention, as well as a journal of helpful telephone numbers. In 2001, the two lists were merged into one.

As a result, the number of people travelling to the meeting rose steadily, so that Insurance Day joined forces with the city council of Baden-Baden to form a host committee dedicated to protecting the annual Baden-Baden Reinsurance Meeting. It is supported by industry representatives from the reinsurance and insurance sector.

As the Baden-Baden convention and visitors’ office, we have since created the platform for the Baden-Baden Reinsurance Meeting to take place successfully:

We set the event dates in consultation with all decision-makers, open the Kongresshaus for participants and secure appropriate meeting and accommodation facilities with our partners.
We are responsible for and manage the registration process and thus create the conditions for a qualified and individual exchange among all participating experts.
In addition, we support them with information and tourist services.
