Download the paper by Ralph Frankland (chair) and other members of the Extreme Events working party. The Extreme Events working party will present an afternoon workshop followed by a formal sessional meeting.
The sessional and workshop are now fully booked. The sessional will be filmed and the video will be downloadable from our archive a few days after the event.

Please note, that as a result of member feedback, we will be trialling a new ‘enhanced networking initiative’ at this sessional research meeting.
The purpose of this initiative is to improve integration and networking among members, with particular focus on making those who are newly qualified or new to events, feel encouraged to approach more experienced members and become integrated into the actuarial community.
At each meeting, members who have particular experience in the topic area or those who are happy to be approached by new members and share their experience will be asked to wear a yellow ribbon on their name badge.
We would invite all those members who are happy to wear a yellow ribbon on their name badge to signal that they encourage any member to approach them and ask questions about the sessional meeting, chat or even just to introduce themselves to get in touch with Event Management.
