Here's what previous attendees have said:

“I have to be selective about the events I attend, and this one was particularly valuable. The speakers were insightful, and the 1-1 matchmaking led to genuinely useful connections.”

Mary Boyd

CEO, Hiscox USA

“I enjoyed attending Risk Royale. As an insurer that uses technology as a key source of differentiation, the event offered a fast, clear view of the innovations shaping our industry, helping us stay ahead of the curve. Its carefully curated attendee list also makes it an excellent forum for meeting potential strategic partners.”

Brian Haney

COO & President, Kinsale Capital Group

“Focus is everything for founders. There’s no shortage of events out there, but very few actually move the needle. Risk Royale stands out because they’re intentional about who’s in the room: investors, customers, strategic partners, advisors, and operators who are genuinely relevant. I walk away with six months’ worth of high-impact networking in a single afternoon. And yes… the poker is a blast.”

Elad Schaffer

Co-Founder & CEO, Faye

“Risk Royale’s topics, speakers, other participants attending made it the most impactful conference or event I personally attended in 2025. Perfectly timed to provide incredible perspective on the year’s hottest subject, AI, made it invaluable.”

Tom Kussurelis

President Arrowhead Programs (Brown & Brown)

“As a founder, Risk Royale is an experience I look forward to for months. The hand-picked guest list of other founders, investors, and partners means I'm going to learn something no matter who I bump into. And as a bonus, last year I got to meet two of my long-time insurance heroes.”

Darren Nix

Co-Founder & CEO of Steadily

“Risk Royale was outstanding. The sessions were interesting, and the structured networking was the perfect way to connect and learn about the startups.”

Thomas Weist

CFO, Tokio Marine HCC

"What makes Risk Royale stand out is the access to top-tier founders, investors, and decision-makers in the risk and insurance space. The event goes beyond surface-level discussions, offering real insight into where the industry is headed and the most promising opportunities ahead.”

Max Chee

Partner, Co-Head of ATG, Aquiline Capital Partners

“Risk Royale is one of those rare events that truly delivers on industry insights and high-quality connections. Last year, I had the chance to spend time with leaders shaping the industry's future and walked away with fresh perspectives on what's ahead. It’s a must-attend.”

Niji Sabharwal

CEO & Cofounder, AgentSync

“Risk Royale was an incredibly valuable experience. The insights from industry leaders and the chance to connect with top investors, builders, and innovators provided real takeaways that will help our company move forward. If you're building in the risk and insurance space, this is an event you don’t want to miss.”

Kyle Nakatsuji
