The ageing population and increases in longevity have drawn attention to the management of longevity risk in pension funds, life insurers and health insurers. Governments face the challenge of financing an ageing population with longer life spans and providing an environment conducive to private market solutions. Reinsurers and financial market innovations such as securitization are critical components in the management of longevity risk. Leading international industry and academic representatives as well as policy makers will meet and discuss not only the assessment of longevity risk, but also the market and government developments and responses needed by pension funds and insurance companies to manage this risk. The key theme of Longevity 9 is “Identifying and Addressing the Key Elements Necessary for the Development of a Large and Liquid Longevity Market”. 
 
The deadline for paper or abstract submission is 30 April 2013 and decisions will be communicated to authors in June 2013 when the formal programme for the conference will be announced. Jointly authored papers should be submitted by the person who will present the paper if it is accepted.
