Dear members and industry professionals,

Six years ago, the Bayes AIR-Q Society was established to unite the brightest minds in actuarial science, insurance, risk management, and quantitative finance at Bayes Business School (formerly Cass). Since then, we've grown to over 350 members and more than 1,200 contacts, fostering a society dedicated to empowering the next generation of professionals through mentorship, connection, and collaboration.

As we reflect on our journey, we recognise that our most significant achievements stem from bridging the gap between students and industry professionals. We've hosted events ranging from cyber underwriting and sports fixture cancellation insurance to Insurtech forums and quantitative finance workshops. We've explored topics including data science, AI, and machine learning in finance, and collaborated with other societies to broaden our members' horizons.

This year, we are excited to reaffirm our commitment with a clear Purpose: "To foster mentorship, bridge the gap between students and industry, and cultivate the next generation of leaders in actuarial science, insurance, risk management, and quantitative finance.” Our Purpose encapsulates our dedication to providing students with valuable industry exposure and offering professionals a platform to share their insights with curious minds and discover exceptional talent.

We are proud to share this vision with you and look forward to continuing our journey together, making meaningful connections that benefit both our members and the wider industry.
