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: Investigate the importance of collaboration with accounting, underwriting, sales, marketing and other professions as an actuary when you attend this webcast. Cross-functional positions can cause unique challenges to arise, like various experts attempting to balance growth and profitability. Discover an opportunity to learn about relevant ASOPs and dive deeper into contemporary examples that highlight specific professionalism issues that can develop.

Description: "Actuarial modernization is transforming the profession, and coding plays a central role. Coding skills enable actuaries to automate data manipulation, streamline model development and effectively harness advanced analytics. This session explores why coding is foundational to the future of actuarial work, highlighting practical use cases, essential technologies and career benefits. We will discuss the importance of coding and its return on investment for your career. The session will introduce several coding tools, demonstrating their practical applications to actuarial tasks, such as efficiently merging model changes. Attendees will learn key design patterns that enhance model maintainability and identify common anti-patterns that create errors and technical debt. Additionally, a practical demonstration will showcase how generative AI tools such as GitHub Copilot significantly boost productivity and simplify coding tasks for actuaries. Join us to discover how investing in coding - comparable in effort to passing one actuarial exam - can deliver lifelong professional advantages and position actuaries at the forefront of technology-driven innovation."
