Invitation from the President

I am delighted to invite you to participate in the Actuaries Institute 2012 Financial Services Forum which

will be held in Melbourne from Monday 30 April – Tuesday 1 May. The Financial Services Forum theme is

Think Big. We must “think big” if we are to successfully navigate the short-term turmoil whilst preparing for

the long-term structural changes facing Australia and the global community. How can we manage the risks,

capitalise on the opportunities and push the boundaries to continue to add value to our industry and to the

millions of Australians who entrust their money to us? As the representative body for the actuarial profession, the

Actuaries Institute is committed to providing a Forum that is a premier event for professionals and leaders in the

financial services industry.

The Forum will have a diverse program featuring six plenary sessions and over 40 concurrent sessions, covering

a wide range of topics including Structural Reform & Public Policy, Driving Value in Financial Services,

Superannuation & Wealth Management, Enterprise Risk Management & Corporate Governance and

Connecting with Consumers. The Forum attracts attendees from the banking, investment, finance, financial

planning, life insurance, superannuation, wealth management and risk management industries, so provides

broad opportunities for sponsors to showcase their products and services.

The Actuaries Institute is committed to offering sponsorship packages which are flexible and can be tailored to

meet your specific needs. For further information, contact contact Emma Simonson on +61(0) 2 9239 6122 at the

Institute, she will be delighted to assist you.
