Through the Singapore Actuarial Society, the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries has been approached to draw members' attention to the 17th East Asian Actuarial Conference that is taking pace in Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore, 15-18 October 2013.

With a theme of Redefining risk, creating value, the conference organising committee has issued a call for papers.  We would encourage members who think they might be in the region at that time and have suitable material, to submit papers for presentation.  The conference is also offering a SGD$10,000 prize for the best paper.  Further information about the call for papers and how to respond can be found on the Singapore Actuarial Society website.

The organisers have also informed us that they would be happy to accept submission ideas from the Institute and Faculty members up to Friday 15 March 2013.
