Actuaries, Quantitative Finance Professionals Meet in a pub and make friends

Hi friends,

Welcome to our first meetup in this The Friendly Meetup for Actuaries and Quants! We're a sister group of The Friendly Data Meetup London. This one is focused on actuaries and quants :D

As a smaller group, we make meaningful connections with like-minded quantitative professionals. Lifelong friendships are forged along the way!

Whether you're new in town, want to expand your social circle, get into the insurance and banking space, or see a friend you know, this is the place to be!

No guest speakers nor rigid agenda, just a casual meetup and lots of fun conversation! 🥳

See you soon!

NOTE: Please remember to bring your ID with you, as all guests must be of legal age to enter the venue.
