The next Chicago Actuarial Association event will be the Spring Workshops in downtown Chicago on May 12, 2026 so be sure to mark your calendars!
We will have actuarial experts giving talks on timely topics such as the current state of ACA legislation and the latest mortality experience including COVID-19. The workshops will be followed by a networking reception and dinner.
This is an excellent opportunity to meet local actuaries, earn continuing education credits, and stay connected to the latest trends in the actuarial industry. Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to the day of including the venue address, event start time, and registration details.
We are actively recruiting speakers for the Spring Workshop! Speakers get free entry to the event, including dinner. Even if you don't have a panel topic in mind, we have plenty of suggestions to get you started. To express your interest, please write to chicagoactuarialassociation@gmail.com

This will feature a panel of actuarial affinity organizations speaking from 4 to 5 pm, followed by a networking reception from 5 to 6:30 pm. The panelists will discuss the answers to questions such as:
· What are the impediments that your constituents face in trying to start and advance in an actuarial career?
· What is your organization doing to address these issues?
· What else does your organization do to help your constituents and the actuarial profession?
· Why should someone become a member of your organization and how can they do that?
