The
organizing committees are delighted to invite you to attend the 14th
annual IME Congress in Toronto Canada from June 17-19, 2010.
The
IME Congress is an important forum for researchers to focus on the latest
advances, trends and developments and to bring together scientists,
academicians and insurance sector professionals from all over the world
in the area of actuarial science and insurance and financial modeling.
The theory and methods of actuarial science, and its applications in
insurance, finance and risk management fields will be the core of the
presentations at the Congress.
The
Congress was created by the editorial board of the Elsevier journal
"Insurance: Mathematics and Economics". The journal began
publication in 1982 and has developed into one of the leading journals
in the field of actuarial science, life and non-life insurance and financial
risk.
The
first Congress was held in 1997 in Amsterdam, and since then the annual
Congresses have been held in locations around the world, including London
(1999), Rome (2004), Quebec City (2005), Dalian (China) (2008) and Istanbul
(2009). All the Congresses have been held in major cities of Europe,
North America and Asia as shown on the right. It is a great honour to
be chosen to host the 2010 Congress in Toronto.
