Description: As actuaries, we learn many facts and techniques and we develop many skills that enable us as professionals. In this session, we'll explore the art of skill development itself, and how to get good, at getting great, at literally anything, in record time. Malcolm Gladwell suggested we need 10,000 hours to become extraordinary in a skill. In this session we'll talk about the shortcut that allows any human to gain new skills to the level of 'world-class' in as little as 108 days, in effect, becoming so good at something that we become 'unrecognizable to ourselves, in all the best ways'. Learning outcomes include: 1. Learn the art of Perfect Practice: how to level up any skill faster than anyone else, using decades of research from BRATLAB and the science of performance into how to create skills and habits. 2. Explore why 'trying harder' is a recipe for stagnation and what it means to 'try different' 3. Leave with insights into the 'Magic Eight' receipt for rapid skill development and how that can transform your career and your life.

Description: Who we are as people and who we become over time is entirely determined by the habits that we practice. And, habits are the fabric from which company culture is made. However, habit are hard to change, because we misunderstand what it really takes to change habits. Why? Because human beings don't have habits - habits have human beings. If you're curious about what this means, have an interest in the science of Context Design, and want to learn how to change your own habits, as well as create cultures of high performance, join this session. Learning outcomes include: - Understand the 'golden rules of habit change' and the many myths around habits (e.g., that they take a certain number of days to create). - Learn about the science of Context Design: how to create habits, at scale, over time. For yourself and your team. - See why 'human have habits' misrepresents reality and why it's more accurate to say 'habits have human beings!'

Description: Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the investment landscape. From natural language processing and large language models to physical AI applications like robotics, autonomous vehicles, and drones, the evolution of AI is reshaping both how we analyze data and where we find opportunity. We’ll begin by exploring the evolution of AI, which is already driving disruption across industries such as coding, customer service, and marketing. However, the future of AI is physical AI (drones, AVs, robotics). With valuations already stretched, and growing concerns about the “circular economy” and bubble risks, investors should focus on high-quality tech companies that generate free cash flow and deliver strong returns on invested capital. We'll explore examples of interesting companies across the globe: Meta, Alphabet, and Uber in the US; ASML in Europe; Tokyo Electron in Japan; TSMC in Taiwan; and BYD in China. The session will also examine how natural language processing and large language models are reshaping the way quantitative and fundamental managers extract insights from raw data. We’ll highlight how these tools are being deployed to enhance understanding of risk and return, and how they’re increasingly supporting collaboration between quant and fundamental teams.
