Global Risk Summit 2026

The Global Risk Summit is the must attend gathering for senior decision-makers navigating the world’s most complex challenges. On 12 May 2026, London will be the epicentre of global risk dialogue – bringing together leaders from across the economy and the insurance industry to debate, innovate, and act.

This one-day summit delivers:
