Several CAS committees are currently preparing the details of this event which will provide ample opportunities for non-life actuaries from around the world to exchange knowledge and ideas, as well as to form and nurture intellectual and personal relationships. Under the guidance of the ASTIN 2007 Organizing Committee and chairperson Christopher S. Carlson, these committees are designing educational and leisure programs for participants and accompanying persons that will make the ASTIN Colloquium enlightening, enjoyable, and memorable.

The 2007 ASTIN Scientific Committee, under the leadership of Gary Venter, has recently released a call for papers, which can be found online. Papers on the topics of risk management of an insurance enterprise, pricing risk, and liability risk are welcome. The complete call for papers identifies a number of subtopics within these broad topics to provide ideas to potential authors. Papers on other topics will be considered by the 2007 ASTIN Scientific Committee and may be accepted at the committee's discretion. Papers are due to the Scientific Committee in their final form by January 31, 2007.

A wide variety of excursions are being considered by the 2007 ASTIN Hospitality Committee for the leisure program. With a wealth of options in Central Florida for activities that inspire and amaze, the Hospitality Committee expects that attendees will not soon forget the 2007 ASTIN Colloquium.
