On August 22nd, SANA (South Asian Network of Actuaries), in partnership with SAGAA (Sexuality and Gender Alliance of Actuaries) and Abacus Actuaries, proudly hosted the first-ever joint virtual career fair—“The Infinite Opportunity Actuarial Career Fair.” With participants from all over the world including, the United States, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Canada, and beyond, the event showcased the power of global connections and collaborative opportunities within the actuarial profession.
We deeply thank SAGAA and Abacus for helping plan and execute this transformative event. Their partnership was instrumental in creating a seamless and engaging experience for recruiters and attendees alike, setting a new standard for virtual career fairs.

A week before the fair, we also hosted a resume workshop led by Sumira Khan, a recruiter with over 10 years of experience who focused on diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

This workshop gave attendees the confidence to engage with employers and make the most of the fair.
