Anna Markeviča - Chairwoman
My name is Anna Markeviča, I am the chairwoman of the upcoming edition of the Actuarial Congress in Amsterdam. I am currently in my final year of Bachelor’s in Econometrics and Data Science at the University of Amsterdam with excelent prospects in Cum Laude honours. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challanges, reshaping the insurance landscapes. Together we will explore the insights that will guide the actuarial field forward in these transformative times. And I am confident that with our enthusiasm and dedication this year’s congress will be a great success!
Daan Van Dijk - Coordinator
My name is Daan, and I am the coordinator of the Actuarial Congress. Currently, I am doing a board year at the study association VSAE, where my functions are Chairman and External Affairs. Together with my fellow board members, we organise many educational and fun events, including the Actuarial Congress. The committee has worked very hard this year to set up a great congress, with a very interesting and gripping theme.
If this website has sparked your interest, I look forward to welcoming you there on the 5th of March!
Donghun Lee - Acquisition & Promotion
Hello! I am Donghun Lee, a third-year Business Analytics student at the University of Amsterdam, currently interning at ServiceNow where I contribute to post-sales strategy and analysis. I am excited to be part of the VSAE Actuarial Congress committee, specifically in the Acquisition and Promotion team. Along with Sean, we are working on securing financial support for our event. I am happy to connect with more people and overcome any challenges we may encounter. Looking forward to seeing everyone in March!
Sean Park- Acquisition & Promotion
My name is Sean, and I am in charge of Acquisition & Promotion for this year's Actuarial Congress. I am a third-year Econometrics student at the University of Amsterdam, minoring in Programming. I am particularly excited about this year's theme on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected life insurance and pensions, and how data can help us make better decisions. I am eager to see how the collective expertise will spark fresh ideas and drive meaningful conversations throughout this year's event.
Thomas Van Vechgel- Speakers
Hi! My name is Thomas, and I am nearing the completion of my bachelor's in Econometrics at the University of Amsterdam. This year, I chose to participate in the Actuarial Congress committee, where I am responsible for coordinating all the speakers. Fortunately, I have the wonderful Angela Van Heerwaarden as the day chair, and I work closely with her to ensure everything runs smoothly. Together with the rest of the committee, I’m confident that this year’s Actuarial Congress will be better than ever.
Anna Bolkvadze - Magazine & Website
My name is Anna, and I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Jonas Wagner on the magazine and website for the 2025 Actuarial Congress. I am currently in my third year of Business Analytics and completing an internship in Finance. This year’s congress plays a crucial role in exploring the impact of significant global events and equipping us to face an unpredictable future. I am confident it will offer many valuable insights and engaging discussions. I look forward to seeing everyone there!
Jonas Wagner - Magazine & Treasurer
My name is Jonas, currently I am in the third year of my Actuarial Science degree. I am this years treasurer and with Anna, I will create this years magazine.
The Covid-19 pandemic had a large effect on everyone. I think having this topic 5 years after the first lockdowns started happening gave companies some time to adjust where necessary. It will be really interesting to hear about the changes made and if long-Covid had any impact on them.
