Since it first began in 1957, the Rendez-Vous de Septembre (RVS) – the largest gathering in
the sector – has enabled all players in the insurance and reinsurance market to meet up and
hold bilateral discussions ahead of the renewals.
Last year, all the members of the RVS Association decided to cancel the 2020 conference due
to the public health crisis. Many participants said that they understood this decision, while
expressing their strong attachment to the RVS, which they view as both useful and
necessary.
The pandemic is ongoing, but there is hope that the health crisis will enter its final phase in
the second half of 2021, notably due to the vaccination campaigns being rolled out across
the world. The return to normal will be gradual, and the various restrictions in terms of
movement and assembly should be lifted. But at the present time we cannot predict the
exact timing of this “normalization”. Faced with major uncertainties regarding the health
situation and various restrictions in terms of movement and assembly in September, all the
members of the RVS Association have decided to cancel the 2021 conference.
Nevertheless, in the week of September 13 the organizing committee will organize
conferences and round tables on the insurance and reinsurance industry.
The next RVS should therefore take place from September 10 to 14, 2022, in Monaco.
Claude Tendil, President of the RVS, comments: “The guiding principle behind this decision
was above all the safety of the women and men invited to attend the RVS. The professional
encounters and the quality of the discussions that take place in Monte Carlo are
irreplaceable; we have faith in 2022″.
