The 
            organizing committees are delighted to invite you to attend the 14th 
            annual IME Congress in Toronto Canada from June 17-19, 2010.
         
        The 
          IME Congress is an important forum for researchers to focus on the latest 
          advances, trends and developments and to bring together scientists, 
          academicians and insurance sector professionals from all over the world 
          in the area of actuarial science and insurance and financial modeling. 
          The theory and methods of actuarial science, and its applications in 
          insurance, finance and risk management fields will be the core of the 
          presentations at the Congress.
        The 
          Congress was created by the editorial board of the Elsevier journal
          "Insurance: Mathematics and Economics". The journal began 
          publication in 1982 and has developed into one of the leading journals 
          in the field of actuarial science, life and non-life insurance and financial 
          risk.
        The 
          first Congress was held in 1997 in Amsterdam, and since then the annual 
          Congresses have been held in locations around the world, including London 
          (1999), Rome (2004), Quebec City (2005), Dalian (China) (2008) and Istanbul 
          (2009). All the Congresses have been held in major cities of Europe, 
          North America and Asia as shown on the right. It is a great honour to 
          be chosen to host the 2010 Congress in Toronto.
