If you’re eager to showcase your research, expertise, or innovative ideas to the vibrant Indian and South Asian community, we’d love to have you join us on stage.
Please submit your proposal by 8 July
We’re committed to making sure our conference caters to a broad audience, encompassing all vital actuarial domains. To achieve this, we’re seeking a diverse array of presentations. Boost your chances of being selected by offering a fresh perspective that’s both timely and pertinent to our theme.
The theme for the conference is ‘Actuaries of the Future’ and we encourage you to weave this theme into every aspect of your talk. Let’s explore what’s next for actuaries, the skills they’ll need to develop to stay ahead, and the roles the industry and the professional body will play in this evolution.
We are seeking engaging talks on the following topics. We would also like the topics to have a future look, exploring what’s next for actuaries. If you have a compelling presentation that doesn’t fit into these categories, please submit it under ‘other’.
In your proposal, we would be grateful if you could include:

In this session we will have a panel discussion featuring various members of the Machine Learning in Reserving Working Party (MLRWP) and we will discuss these points and others. The MLRWP has shared many of our findings and material in talks and on our blog.
This will be delivered virtually and will be a high-level session rather than a technical one. It should be of interest to actuaries at all levels with an interest in ML including senior actuaries and team leaders who are interested in using ML in the reserving process and may be asking many of these same questions.
