"The European Congress of Actuaries is the only actuarial event of this size in Europe. The 2012 edition was a really exiting experience with a lot of content and opportunity to meet colleagues and friends from all over Europe. The 2016 edition promises to be even more attractive : I cannot wait to meet you all again."
Karel Goossens Chief Executive IA|BE

"As speaker and attendee of ECA2012 I can only recommend to every European actuary - and indeed to every actuary in Europe - to attend this congress and to undergo two days of interesting lectures and exciting actuarial networking."
