CERA Bulletin Edition 6 – September 2026

CERA at ICA 2026

Looking ahead to the International Congress of Actuaries (ICA) 2026 in Tokyo, the CERA Treaty Board is preparing a panel discussion on The Future of the Actuarial Profession.

The panel will bring together current and former Chairs and Board members of the CERA Treaty Board to share their perspectives on how the profession is evolving and the opportunities ahead for actuaries and CERAs.

The discussion will examine how the CERA credential and risk management expertise continue to strengthen and broaden the actuarial profession. It will also explore the expanding influence of actuaries and CERAs in leadership, emerging risk areas, and diverse career paths beyond traditional actuarial roles.

This promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking session, highlighting the growing impact of actuarial and risk management expertise in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world.

We look forward to welcoming delegates to this discussion at the ICA 2026.

We look forward to sharing more information soon.

 

CERA at ECA 2026

At the European Congress of Actuaries (ECA) 2026 in Paris, CERA Treaty Board members Stephen Wilcox and Ron Hersmis presented on the value of the CERA designation in a rapidly changing risk landscape. Their session explored how emerging risks and accelerating technological developments are reshaping the profession, and how the CERA credential equips actuarial professionals with the skills and perspective needed to navigate these challenges and add value to their organisations.

A recording of the presentation is available on the actuview wesite.

Our thanks to Stephen and Ron for representing CERA on the international stage.
