Description: The Predictive Analytics Seminar is a unique event that allows experts in the practice areas of life, health, and P&C to come together and explore the vast world of predictive analytics.

Description: "A crucial importance in forecasting is to be able to distinguish cases when temporary slowdowns in health care utilization are followed by a “rebound” period of higher utilization. Come explore an analysis of a new mathematical model describing the return-of-care process. By means of simulation and case studies using the R programming language, the relationship between the visibility of these effects and the endogenous variance of the utilization time series is explored. After attending this session, you will be able to: Describe the parameters and mathematical form of the model Apply the model to real-world utilization data"

Description: We will first present a few very practical use cases of GenAI tools that could help the daily life of an actuary. Then we will demonstrate the power of these tools in coding (e.g. Cursor, but also ChatGPT) - improv style. Taking a suggestion from the audience - a publicly available dataset - we will demonstrate how you can ask questions to a large language model, which will write code and provide the insight you are looking for.

Description: In this interactive presentation, you will learn how people make decisions and how this can lead to errors in judgement and irrational choices.

Description: This report provides a resource guide for asset-liability management practitioners, including methodology reviews, a survey of ALM practices, and guidance for applying ALM questions to real-world situations.

Description: Cluster modeling is emerging as a powerful technique to manage cloud costs and run time. It also enables quick responses to "what if" scenarios, and aids in attributing results between reporting cycles. In this webcast, we provide insight into cluster modeling, present case studies that focus on various key performance indicators and discuss the benefits and challenges to cluster modeling from an insurer’s perspective. We also discuss the considerations associated with moving from an on-prem based computing solution to a cloud-based approach.

Description: Join us for this popular annual webcast covering the latest considerations for the year's U.S. statutory financial reporting work. Get ready to hear from three expert speakers, who will discuss cash flow testing and this year’s New York and California holiday letters, the impact of recent interest rate changes including treatment of negative IMR, potential changes to statutory financial reporting due to climate change, and updates regarding Principle Based Reserves.

Description: Learn about the industrial practice for constructing the mortality table from 0 to 1 through journeys in Hong Kong and Singapore, including key takeaways. Hear speakers share their biggest challenges during their process, how they resolved them, and discover the most common technical issues faced in conducting the mortality tables.

Description: This session will delve into the valuable lessons learned from recent accounting change implementation, covering both model and process optimization. Attendees will gain industry knowledge as we explore optimization decisions made by others, highlighting both successful strategies and areas for improvement. We will discuss key decision points throughout the entire actuarial process, including data manipulation, actuarial calculation engine, and post-model reporting.
