Session Structure
Plenary Sessions
ICA2026 will feature several plenary sessions covering topics relevant to anyone interested in actuarial science, including actuaries and non-actuaries, as well as both academics and practitioners. The details of these plenaries are currently being developed, but all or some of the following core themes are likely to be incorporated into the plenaries.Core Themes
How should actuaries address the challenges of a super-aging society, including its impact on insurance products, social security, the labor force, and family caregiving challenges?
Financial institutions, as well as their customers, are impacted by natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods. Considering the trends and increasing frequency and severity of such events, how should actuaries respond?
With advancements in digital technology, the products and services offered by financial institutions have become more sophisticated, and consumer expectations of these institutions have correspondingly increased. Meanwhile, the expanded use of AI brings both greater opportunities and heightened risks. Additionally, the threat of cyber risks and massive tech outages is growing. In light of this situation, how should the practice and role of actuaries evolve?
The IAIS has finalized the Insurance Capital Standard and the EU Solvency II has been in place for some time. Meanwhile, as the environment surrounding insurance companies and pension funds undergoes significant changes in various aspects, how will supervisory framework evolve in the future? And how should the actuarial profession contribute to these changes?
We are facing various challenges, such as fluctuations in the economic environment, natural disasters, pandemics, climate change, and cyber risks, just to name a few. In this ever-changing environment, how can we, as actuaries, update our profession with relevant expertise and enhance the resilience of financial institutions and society in general?
Concurrent Sessions
In addition to the plenary sessions, each day will include multiple concurrent sessions, offering an opportunity for you to present your research.Each concurrent session will last 105 minutes and include three presentations on a related topic. Each presenter will have 20 minutes to deliver their presentation, followed by a 10-minute Q&A. To conclude the session, all three presenters will participate in a 15-minute interactive discussion.
Your work — including, but not limited to, recordings, presentations, PowerPoint slides, abstracts, papers, and similar materials — will be broadly shared. Please refer to the Speaker Agreement for details regarding distribution.
