Baden-Baden

The Shadow Conference Where a Handful of People Quietly Decide the Future of Your Wallet (and Your Planet)

Every October, a handful of the world’s wealthiest corporate suits and financial puppeteers descend on the spa town of Baden-Baden, Germany. No, not for wellness retreats, but to quietly decide how much more expensive your insurance is going to get next year, how climate catastrophes will be priced (and profited from), and whether you get to rebuild your house after the next “once-in-a-century” flood.

It’s called the Baden-Baden Reinsurance Meeting, and you’ve probably never heard of it, because you’re not supposed to.
