On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to host the 33rd International Congress of Actuaries (ICA2026) in Tokyo, Japan, in November 2026. The year 2026 is very special for us. We held an ICA in 1976 in Tokyo, and the year 2026 will mark the 50th Anniversary of the last ICA we hosted. ICA2026 will be a unique opportunity to reflect on the preceding half-century.

Since the late 20th century, actuaries have made tremendous contributions across the globe. ICA2026 will bring together actuaries from around the world to discuss cutting-edge technological developments, climate change, recent pandemics, and more.

The congress topics will truly reflect the current trends and new approaches. It is essential for sustainable development in the future to share the latest academic and practical results in the actuarial domain. We hope that all attendees will benefit from the congress and apply the insights gained into their daily activities in their respective fields.

Japan is currently experiencing many issues that actuaries are well-suited to discuss, such as a declining birthrate, an aging population, and natural disasters like earthquakes and typhoons. Tokyo is a particularly appropriate place for ICA2026, where actuaries from various countries can explore solutions to these pressing issues.

We look forward to sharing the situations and approaches of Japanese actuaries with participants from around the world.

We intend to make every effort in our preparations to ensure that participants can grasp real-world situations and have meaningful exchanges in Tokyo. Let’s come together to have fruitful discussions and experiences at ICA2026 Tokyo.
