INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF ACTUARIES 2018 - BERLIN 4 - 8 JUNE 2018 - ICA 2018
ICA – a congress travels
     around the world
     The International Congress of Actuaries is held every four years
     in a different capital city. Following the ICA 2010 in Cape Town and
     the ICA 2014 in Washington this year’s International Congress is
     coming to Germany. The last International Congress to be held in
     Germany – exactly 50 years ago – took place in Munich.

     Host of this year’s ICA will be the International Actuarial
     Association, together with the German Association of Actuaries
     (Deutsche Aktuarvereinigung e.V., DAV).

     The German Association of Actuaries
     The DAV is the professional body representing all actuaries in
     Germany. It was founded in 1993 and has nearly 5,200 members
     today. Another 1,600 candidates for membership are actively
     enrolled on its in-house education and examination program.
     Hence the DAV is one of the five biggest actuarial associations
     in the world. More than 700 members are involved on twelve
     committees and in over 60 working groups as a voluntary com-
     mitment. Significantly more are active in the fields of education,
     CPD seminars, cooperation with universities and in various
     actuarial projects all over the world.

                          First Virtual ICA – VICA
                          A highlight of the ICA 2018 will be the very first Virtual ICA.
                          Thanks to the support of a number of institutional partners
                          from the actuarial community such as the actuarial asso-
                          ciations from South Africa, USA, Australia and Japan as
                          well as several Sections of the IAA, many sessions from the
                          stages in Berlin will be broadcast live online and provided as
                          recorded sessions afterwards. This allows a much broader
                          audience from all over the world to follow the high value
                          content presented during the ICA and helps to secure this
                          knowledge in a sustainable manner.

                          Furthermore, the success of the Call for Papers means that
                          the VICA will also feature many online presentations by
                          authors to whom the ICA could not offer a presentation slot
                          in Berlin. More than 25 hours of additional recorded sessions
                          with up-to-date actuarial content will be provided online
                          before the congress by this group of experts.

                          Become a member of the IAA
                          The IAA Sections AFIR-ERM, ASTIN, IAALS (LIFE) and IACA
                          have already decided to become partners of the VICA. This
                          partnership allows members of the Sections to access more
                          than 150 hours of live streams and videos at no further cost.
