2019 Predictive Modeling, Innovation and Industry Contest

The Predictive Analytics and Futurism and Technology Sections invite you to participate in the inaugural “2019 Predictive Modeling, Innovation and Industry Contest.” Analytics are the future of insurance and this contest will recognize the best and brightest who can apply their skills to design an analytical solution that solves an insurance problem, submitted in a Jupyter Notebook.

The winning submissions will receive US$500 for first place, US$300 for second place and US$200 for third place. But that's not all. All winners will be recognized on the SOA’s GitHub account and will be invited to participate in an SOA webcast to showcase their work!
