June conference – join in

Open-access content Wednesday 1st March 2023
yug

Following the success of 2022’s inaugural cross-practice IFoA Conference, we are delighted to announce it is returning to London this year, in person and online.

Last year saw a schedule of more than 50 sessions, panel discussions and workshops, attended both in person and virtually by more than 500 people. With so many of you telling us how valuable you found the access to cross-practice content, we’re looking forward to doing it all again this year.

This year’s conference will highlight such topics as:

  • The cost-of-living crisis

  • Life after covid

  • The future of pensions

  • The Edinburgh Reforms

  • Climate risks and sustainability.

Attending gives you the opportunity to extend your domain expertise and expand your knowledge of subjects beyond your field, meet and connect with peers both inside and outside of your practice area, engage in thought-provoking discussions on issues that affect us all, and feel part of the actuarial community.

Here’s a taste of the positive feedback from attendees of last year’s event:

“The conference seamlessly brought together the global actuarial community across specialisms, enabling us to grow together, using technology to its best advantage.”

“It was fascinating to see how many different fields of work colleagues had expanded into. Very inspirational and encouraging to step outside of my comfort zone and see where that leads!”

“Good to see high-quality, interesting cross-discipline content.”
