Events calendar

On 29 June the IFoA launched a consultation on proposals for the introduction of a scheme for monitoring the quality of actuarial work. As part of the consultation we are running a series events, free and open to the public, so that you can come and learn more about the proposals and engage directly with some of the people who have been involved in advising the IFoA during the process.

Presented by Michael Henderson and Ross Evans

ATRC is an annual two-day event that provides a forum for academics, practitioners and professional bodies to exchange ideas on recent advances in actuarial research and education.

Many actuarial students qualify and find that they're expected to display a broad range of skills that they have had little opportunity to develop as a student.

This dynamic and interactive day will give you access to a panel of experts sharing their thoughts and working with you to develop the skills you need to progress your career and thrive through qualification and beyond.

Nicola Oliver from Medical Intelligence will present a talk on game-changing cancer treatments, including details of treatments that harness the innate immune system to recognize tumours as foreign thus allowing the immune system to respond.   Nicola believes that this is the most exciting breakthrough in cancer treatment yet.

The actuarial qualification is well-respected, but can also carry with it user preconceptions, not all of which are helpful.   Sometimes these preconceptions can be proved true in practice - sadly, this is particularly the case with communication effectiveness. Drawing on his experiences as both a writer and receiver of actuarial communications, IFoA Past President David Hare will set out some hints and tips to help you become an even more effective communicator.

2018 AAC – Be Part of this Exceptional Conference!
 

The Actuarial Society of Hong Kong (ASHK) is proud to host the 2018 Asian Actuarial Conference (AAC), themed “Redefining the New Insurance World”, which will take place in Asia’s World City – Hong Kong from 16 to 19 September 2018. This Conference will be held at the prestigious Kerry Hotel with an expected attendance of over 500 actuaries and insurance professionals across Asia as well as other parts of the world.

As a thank you to all our Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) volunteers you are invited to join us at Staple Inn Hall, for an evening of drinks, canapes and networking, in London.

Through its Actuarial Research Centre (ARC), the IFoA is sponsoring a research programme that seeks to develop pension product designs that keep the customers’ needs at the forefront, with a real income in retirement while minimising costs for the customer.  

Join this webinar to hear more from one of the Principal Investigators of this research programme, Dr. Catherine Donnelly (Heriot-Watt) and ARC Director, Professor Andrew Cairns.

The event will be appealing to girls who are interested in pursuing a career in STEM and therefore potentially a career as an actuary.

This is the first event in a series of events we will be holding over the next year to promote diversity in the profession. 

The rapid convergence of the skilled human with the intelligent machine is changing business models and transforming the playing field at breath-taking speed. It is no longer a question of “what if” but rather one of “so how”. In 2016 the futures based documentary, The Incredible Curious Adventure, explored how South African insurers were attempting to answer this challenge. In 2017 the research went global with alternative findings on how the world not only views this future but is adapting to survive and succeed in this exponential space. This session presented by Peter Temple, Gen Re, shares highlights of the global documentary and new emerging insights.

These seminars cover current issues and highlights in the UK pensions sector.
