Dear members,

As I announced it one month ago, the SAS Council and Committees have been working towards holding CPD events in spite of the COVID situation. I am happy to share that most of the usual SAS annual events will be concentrated within one Super Week: the week of 23rd to 27th November 2020. The theme of this Super Week will be Brave New Normal. At this stage, we do not know whether it will be virtual or land-based, but we are certainly ready for both options as we tested remote capabilities in our recent SAS Afternoon Forum (with an encouraging attendance of 157 participants) and we also reserved a large venue.

What to expect during this Super Week:

1.         The 6 Practice Committees (Life, GI, Health, Retirement, ERM and Data Analytics) will hold their own conferences (0.5 to 1.5 day each)

2.         The Practising Certificate Seminar will be held with an expected double attendance due to the postponement of the May occurrence

3.         If land-based is possible, we will also hold an EGM (Constitution and SAP changes, you will hear more about it in the coming months) and our Volunteer Appreciation Dinner which was supposed to be held right after our last AGM

The decision between virtual or land-based as well as a more precise conferences calendar will be taken and communicated by 31st August.
