Description: Get an in-depth explanation on how data scientists and actuaries can work together to battle the issues arising from big data. Join our focus on the insurance industry as a whole and look at data scientists' and actuaries' roles from the views of different areas of the industry. We will also focus on how data science can be a valuable tool for actuaries. After the session, you will be able to understand: - How developments in data science are shaping Insurance Industry practices - How data scientists can help actuaries - How data science can be used to improve analysis of industry experience

Description: The session will highlight trends in recent industry mortality and lapse studies that have been conducted, including areas where individual companies typically have limited data. The sources of data feature SOA studies as well as other industry studies conducted by consultants and/or reinsurers. Gain an understanding of current drivers of mortality and lapse experience for life insurance evidenced in industry studies, and an understanding of available data to supplement experience in areas where you may have limited internal experience.

Description: Attend this webcast to learn more on how to navigate managing ESG principles in the new normal of a post-COVID world. Enhance your ESG insights in a post-pandemic landscape.

Description: Learn how modernization of data, models, and technology are influencing workflows. This webcast will address how workflows are changing in response to new regulatory requirements and the impacts the changes have on modeling and end-to-end future state operating models. Industry leading actuaries will discuss: How team collaboration can increase quality and speed of reporting to internal and external stakeholders How to strengthen controls and compliance frameworks across finance and actuarial departments How to modernize actuarial input/output for strategic analysis and insights How to attract and retain top talent by improving opportunities for actuaries There will also be dedicated time to ask questions of those who have made the transition.

Description: This webcast will walk through several statistical methods for imputing race and ethnicity from U.S. datasets, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, talking about how to use them and evaluating their accuracy, and telling you where you can get code packages as well as a free dataset to try the methods out.

Description: Have you ever struggled to make business decisions because your internal mortality studies lack credibility? Have you ever launched a new product or initiative and wanted to understand mortality risk before claims experience emerged? This session will discuss how predictive models can help actuaries enhance their traditional mortality studies with leading mortality leading indicators to be more nimble to market demands.

Description: Focus on Accelerated Underwriting (AUW) in the life insurance industry, which is an expedited underwriting process that utilizes predictive models. Expect to address the challenges in designing the process, from modelling to performance monitoring. Additionally, you'll address risk management, particularly in mortality and proxy discrimination andhighlight the role an actuary can play in the AUW process, as well aswhat they should know to contribute effectively.

Description: In this wide-ranging session, expect updates on the work of the Individual Life Experience Committee and delve into some interesting recent research. You'll gain an update on recent findings from the Individual Life Experience Committee regarding individual life mortality experience.

Description: Learn more about the predictive modeling that was applied to industry data for the lapse and mortality experience in the post-level term period. Novel approaches were taken to model the shock lapse, subsequent lapse, and mortality experience. Observe a demonstration of the Tableau tool, which was built to allow users to analyze data on their own.

Description: Are Accelerated Underwriting (AU) programs performing as expected? As mortality experience will (hopefully) be slow to emerge, it is pivotal that we look at alternative methods of monitoring early performance. From random hold outs, to post-issue APS's, and post-issue prescription profiles, explore popular monitoring techniques and lessons learned so far. Focus on confusion matrices that provide an early indication of mortality slippage relative to fluid-based underwriting decisions. Finally, explore statistical methods to determine what constitutes credibility and identify opportunities to think about mortality slippage more robustly.
