This is a new style sessional research and networking event focused on hot topics in the health, care and protection markets. The Health and Care Lifelong Learning Sub-committee invites members to submit a paper for this exciting new event to present and discuss the next big ideas that could transform the protection, health and care markets.
This is an exciting opportunity to pitch your idea in front of fellow members and help inform the future direction of research within the profession. We are looking for research papers and presentations that strike a balance between solid technical content and engaging, forward-thinking ideas. The intention is that successful papers will also be published in the British Actuarial Journal (BAJ) and may also form the basis of a future research working party.
Submit your proposals and be part of an engaging, forward-looking event.
Note: While we may not announce a ‘winner’ on the night, we commit to considering the views of both the audience and the panel to ensure the viability and direction of the research proposals.
Date: 22 April to 2 May 2025
Submission deadline: 31 January 2025

Presenting offers a range of transferable skills that can help advance your skill set, both personally and professionally. These include:
Speaking at a conference or event will increase your visibility and help you develop your personal brand.
You’ll learn how to speak confidently to a room full of people and develop your own personal presenting style. You’ll become experienced at explaining your ideas clearly and succinctly – skills that you can then take back and reapply in your workplace, for example when chairing meetings, presenting to clients, or giving feedback to colleagues.
Presenting enables you to connect and build rapport with an audience – useful skills that can also help you to network and grow your contacts.
Not only will presenting look impressive on your CV, it also means that you’ll start to make a name for yourself within the profession, as well as being more confident in job interviews.
You’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that you have passed on information and learning to your peers, helping to disseminate and develop knowledge across the profession.
