2026 CAS Canada Connection
Akur8 is proud to participate in the 2026 CAS Canada Connection, taking place on December 3 at the Vogue Hotel in Montréal. This one-day, in-person event brings together casualty actuaries from across Canada for continuing education, networking, and a celebration of the country's newest CAS members. Sessions will explore the issues shaping Canada's P&C insurance landscape, including AI in pricing and its responsible governance, emerging climate risks, Alberta's Care-First auto reform, and leadership journeys across the profession. Don't miss Akur8's Kamela Taleb, Actuarial Data Scientist, presenting Pricing the Shift: Alberta's Move from BI to Accident Benefits Under Care-First, where she'll discuss how pricing teams can use credibility-based approaches to price new coverages with little local data and monitor portfolios in a high-uncertainty environment.
