IMA Youth Conference Report

Date: Tuesday 8 June 2004
Location: De Morgan House, London

The Scientific Committee had asked for this first event to be held in the evening rather than as a daytime event to facilitate attendance by a wider range of younger members after their normal working day. Accordingly the Hardy Room was booked for the evening of Tuesday 8th June at De Morgan House in London.

We were hoping to attract up to 30 younger members and I am pleased to report that a total of 17 attended the event and a lively and informative evening was enjoyed by all present. Our thanks go to Amanda Padbury (Chair) and to Andrew Collins who did an excellent job as the scientific committee. Delegates from a wide range of backgrounds included the fields of insurance, banking, teaching, simulation modelling, business development in university research, defence research and a charitable trade organisation.
