International Mortality and Longevity Symposium

This unique symposium explores the latest thinking on mortality and longevity from around the world and how these findings can be applied to decision-making by business and policy makers today. This
event will be of interest to all actuaries concerned with pricing or reserving for mortality and longevity, underwriters, demographers, epidemiologists, policy-makers, gerontologists, other medical
