ANÉA-ASNA 2026

This year we are proud to announce that the 36th ANÉA-ASNA Convention will beheld in Ottawa, at the Westin Ottawa Hotel!

ASNA executives are working around the clock to secure even more sponsors, increase student attendance, and bring you exciting new events! With a jam-packed schedule ahead, this year’s convention promises to be the largest and best one yet! Students and employers from across Canada will come together under the same roof once again to build professional networks and support unique learning opportunities. The convention fosters an environment where industry professionals and aspiring actuaries can exchange ideas, gain insights from leaders in the field, and build valuable connections.

This year Theme

We are thrilled to present the official logo for the 36th annual ASNA convention!

Our theme for this year — “Embers of Change: Where Ideas Spark Impact” — reflects ASNA’s incredible journey over the past four decades. What began as a simple idea has grown into the largest gathering of the actuarial community in North America, with over a thousand attendees and counting.

The purple in our logo symbolizes boldness, royalty, and individuality. The flame represents the Centennial Flame which “never goes off” – just like our thirst for knowledge. The core of the design is anchored by the iconic Parliament building, paying tribute to our host city: Ottawa.

We welcome you to this incredible journey as we spark new ideas and shape lasting impacts. Registration begins in October — stay tuned through our social media for updates!

Our Vision

We want to see our sponsors and attendees leave with great success. Whether you are looking
for a job, presenting a hot topic, hiring students, or simply trying to learn more about the field,
we want this to be an eye-opening experience for all. Our primary vision is to inspire and
educate the next generation of actuarial leaders through a wide variety of unique opportunities
at the national level.
