This was my first conference presentation, just four months into my PhD. I attended PARTY alongside my former colleagues Vanessa Hannah and Keivan Diakite. It was also where I first met members of the KU Leuven team. I presented my first research talk on clustering methods for heterogeneous insurance datasets and received the Best Presentation IAALS Prize. PARTY is a workshop organised every two years by Séverine Arnold (UNIL) and Corina Constantinescu (University of Liverpool), bringing together young researchers working on actuarial risk.
