As many of you are aware, this will be the 11th annual tour for the RE40s Group! Previous tour locations have included:
- London – 2012 & 2015, 2019, & 2024
- Bermuda – 2014, 2017 & 2023
- Zurich/Munich – 2013 & 2018

The Tour consists of full days of company presentations that will provide a great opportunity to learn about the (re)insurance marketplace in both Zurich and Munich, and expand your industry network with some of the industry's top brokers, insurers, and reinsurers. Everyone who has attended the Tour in the past has found it to be a worthwhile and invaluable experience!
This year’s hosts will likely include Swiss Re, Zurich Insurance Group, and Munich Re.
