Description: Creating a predictive model is one thing, but then taking that model and getting full stakeholder buy-in is another. Learn from presenters' experiences and insights on proving model effectiveness in the long-term care (LTC), life and annuity spaces. Explore various topics such as feasibility, model transparency, fairness and equity, ROI measurement, data assets and compliance, infrastructure and more. By the end of the session, you will gain an understanding of how to navigate the challenges of proving the effectiveness of predictive modeling and obtaining management buy-in.

Description: How do we take a Minimum Viable Products (MVP) approach to launch new insurance products? Join this moderated discussion and focus on three key development aspects: Distribution, Systems, and the design and pricing of the Insurance product itself. Come discuss reasons to choose an MVP approach and how it solves many of the product launch challenges.

Description: Welcome to the future of insurance, for actuaries and non-actuaries! Discover how cutting-edge AI models are revolutionizing underwriting, risk assessment, and customer experience for the insurance industry. Experts in management consulting and actuarial consulting firms will provide valuable insights into the consideration and challenges surrounding the adoption of Generative AI.

Description: Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) represent an innovative suite of cryptographic algorithms that empower the insurance community to validate the accuracy of sensitive information without revealing the actual information itself. Mutation with the use of non-traditional data entering the insurance processes of customer acquisition and in-force management is currently taking place. A shift toward using non-traditional data in insurance customer acquisition and in-force management processes is currently taking place. This evolution is captured in the Australian market through surveys and interviews. Come and join us to learn about these two new research studies that open up the possibilities for the insurance industry to be more efficient in delivering its value to the society.

Description: Come prepared for an engaging workshop where you will have the opportunity to share thoughts on and work through a variety of questions concerning how actuaries must adapt to account for newer underwriting and distribution practices. Seating will be limited for this workshop focused on life actuaries who price and set assumptions for products impacted by new underwriting tools and processes such as accelerated underwriting (AU) or direct-to-consumer (DTC) distribution.

Description: The landscape of insurance is ever evolving with pet insurance emerging as a significant and rapidly growing segment. This webinar will cover a broad spectrum of topics essential for actuaries venturing into pet insurance.

Description: Dive into this review on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML) techniques for actuarial modeling for life & annuities. Presenters will showcase learnings from the recent SOA research paper "Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning – Practical Applications for Actuarial Modeling" (Nested Stochastic). The researchers will go over models and methodologies used to develop high-fidelity proxy models for various life & annuity applications.

Description: Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT will redefine the nature of work across industries in coming years, What does this mean for the actuarial profession? Delivering generative AI tools to actuaries capable of leveraging them effectively will dramatically modernize how actuaries work and contribute to organizational growth. In this educational session, explore how generative AI can accelerate actuarial model development. Gain an introduction to generative AI and its implications for actuarial modeling. Learn how it specifically helps actuaries improve accuracy, reduce errors and save time in model development. Then explore use cases, including how generative AI can improve data cleaning, model building, as well as simulate scenarios and test model robustness. Close with a discussion on how to integrate generative AI into actuarial modeling workflows effectively, including common challenges actuaries may face during implementation and tips to overcome them. You will come away with a deeper understanding of how generative AI can accelerate actuarial model development.

Description: Leveraging the research papers "Emerging Technologies and their Impact on Actuarial Science and Top Actuarial Technologies," the presenters of this session will highlight current and emerging actuarial technology trends, discuss how these trends will impact the day-to-day work of actuaries, and explain what actuaries can do to adapt.

Description: Experience a comprehensive overview of the current purchasing landscape for health care services, with a specific focus on how healthtech start-ups can break into the employer-sponsored health care market. You will learn about the key players in the healthcare industry, as well as challenges that new entrants (+ B2B vendors more generally) face in selling their services to employers and health plans.
