Dear members
The New Zealand Society of Actuaries is delighted to announce that its 2026 conference will take place in Christchurch from 22 to 25 November 2026.
Themed “ChCh…Changes,” the 2026 conference offers a unique opportunity to reflect on the profession’s past while looking boldly toward the future. A playful and powerful nod to both the host city’s initials and the theme of transformation, “ChCh…Changes” captures the spirit of actuarial evolution—past, present, and future.
A Fitting Venue: Christchurch Town Hall
The conference will be held at the iconic Christchurch Town Hall; a world-class venue located on the banks of the Avon River in the heart of the city. Beautifully restored strengthened, the Town Hall blends modern functionality with historic architectural charm, providing a vibrant and inspiring setting for this milestone event.
Christchurch: A City of Renewal and Innovation
As the host city, Christchurch brings deep symbolic relevance to the conference theme. Known for its resilience and innovation in the face of significant change, Christchurch has re-emerged as a dynamic, future-focused city with a strong sense of community, creativity, and urban regeneration. Its transformation over the past decade mirrors the adaptability and forward-thinking spirit of the actuarial profession itself.
From revitalised public spaces to cutting-edge architecture and a thriving arts and tech scene, Christchurch offers delegates an engaging and memorable backdrop for connection, learning, and celebration.
