The Estonian Actuarial Society (EAL) was founded in January 1999 and celebrated its 25th anniversary with a conference on September 27, 2024, in Tallinn. The conference took place at the Nordic Hotel Forum. At the same time, from September 26 to 30, 2024, the IAA held its semi-annual meetings in Tallinn.

The world is witnessing interesting, yet somewhat worrying, times. With the use of AI increasing and the human population getting older, all of society has to be prepared. We all need open discussions and can contribute to wise decisions.

The speakers and panelists included the President of the IAA and other distinguished representatives of the actuarial profession, along with representatives from companies operating in the Baltic insurance market, financial institutions, and other sectors. You can find all recordings of the Opening session including the keynote speech, as well as all panels below.
