To mark its launch at the start of 2014, the Actuarial Association of Europe (formerly Groupe Consultatif) is organising a seminar in Brussels on the topic “The New Global Insurance Capital Standard”.

The Seminar will examine the proposal announced by IAIS in October 2013, to develop a Global Insurance Capital Standard by 2016, in the context of the Solvency II framework. It is expected that there will be a huge demand for European expertise on all specialist, supervisory and political aspects of the IAIS concept.

The target audience is senior actuaries, CROs and CEOs of (re-) insurance undertakings, insurance regulators and supervisors, politicians and other European policy-makers.

The seminar will include a keynote speech by EIOPA Chairman, Gabriel Bernardino, and a panel session moderated by Sharon Bowles, Chair of the European Parliament’s ECON Committee. Other speakers will include representatives from the European Commission (Internal Market), CEO of a major international insurance group, IAIS, IAA, and AAE.

The seminar is free of charge, and will take place at 17.00 CET on Monday 3 March 2014 at the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Wolvengracht 47, Brussels, followed by a drinks reception.

Places at the Seminar are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please send your registration to register@actuary.eu
