On the table this year

The Next Frontier: Actuaries Beyond Boundaries

The 11th edition pushes past the traditional perimeter: actuaries crossing into climate finance, AI governance, embedded insurance, and policy design — practising beyond the boundaries of where the profession has historically stayed.

The programme

Four days, one continuous conversation.

Papers, panels, keynotes, and international addresses — a single track so the room moves together. Times shown in East Africa Time (EAT).
