The Agenda

Join Us For The 10th Annual Actuarial Convention 2025

We are thrilled to welcome you to the 10th Annual Actuarial Convention 2025, an event that brings together bright minds in the world of risk management and actuarial science. This conference is a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and share insights with fellow actuaries, industry leaders, and aspiring professionals. With a focus on innovation, data analytics, and the ever-evolving landscape of risk, this year's conference promises to be an exceptional experience for all attendees with the THEME of the convention being: "The Actuary As A Policy Architect: Driving Sustainable Governance And Financial Resilience"

The Theme

This year's theme, "The Actuary as a Policy Architect: Driving Sustainable Governance and Financial Resilience," reflects the profession's evolving role beyond traditional actuarial practice. It highlights how actuaries are increasingly stepping into strategic positions, influencing national policy, shaping regulatory frameworks, and contributing to long-term financial stability across sectors such as insurance, pensions, healthcare, and public finance.

The theme invites thought leaders to explore how actuarial science, with its unique blend of risk analysis and long-term financial forecasting, can inform policy decisions, promote sustainable governance, and enhance economic resilience especially in the face of emerging global and regional challenges like climate risk, demographic shifts, and economic shocks.
