The YAI reception is hosted by the German Actuarial Association (DAV) and the Institut des Actuaires (IA).

Enjoy a Nostalgic Evening in Paris

The evening event on 18 June takes place at ‘Les Pavillons de Bercy’, a historic Parisian venue known for its preserved fairground culture and traditional performing arts. Guests can enjoy regional French specialities and explore unique, restored attractions while connecting informally with fellow participants from across Europe. Admission to the evening event is included with all 'Full Access' conference tickets. You can also purchase a ticket in addition to a One-Day Ticket or for an accompanying person.

Connect Over Coffee in our ‘Break & Networking’ Areas

Some of the best conversations happen away from the main stage. Our central break areas are designed for exactly that, a chance to pause, recharge and connect with fellow participants over coffee and catering, available throughout the day.

Between sessions, take the opportunity to visit our partners' exhibitor stands, discover their expertise and continue the conversations that matter to you.
