The annual Actuarial Research Conference (ARC) provides an opportunity for academics and practitioners to meet and discuss actuarial problems and their solutions. The 44th ARC will be held at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin.

The ARC program has historically consisted primarily of contributed paper talks. Click “here” to view the available contributed abstracts. The usual theme has been to allow all comers, as actuarial science is multidisciplinary. We intend to follow this tradition with some minor variations.

• Consistent with the last few years, we will feature some invited panels on actuarial education. Invited panelists come from academia and the North American professional actuarial associations (the Society of Actuaries and Casualty Actuarial Society).
• Consistent with the last few years, we will feature invited industry panelists. This year, the goal of panelists will be to discuss:
•  how research is administered in their organizations  – how are projects identified, shepherded through, how is talent recruited, and so forth,
• general industry trends – what are likely to be the research tools that industry will need in the future and
•  case studies – discussion of how a research problem was attacked and research used to add business value to a company.
• Poster sessions. A scientific poster is a large document that can communicate your research at a scientific meeting. Posters allow for exchange between the audience and the researcher – they are especially useful for researchers who seek feedback in work that is developing. See the “Submission” page for more details.
