Bursaries New website online Actuarial Association of Sri Lanka South Asian Actuarial Conference—Colombo, Sri Lanka The program is now available. When: July 12–13 4th Life Insurance Conference—Singapore It is hard to grasp new opportunities while holding onto old ways of thinking and behaving that may no longer be relevant in a fast-changing world. Is the life insurance industry too slow to change and are we heading for our very own “Kodak moment”? Or are we up to the mark to tap into the wave of change? In this world where technology, consumer mindsets, regulations, business and the workplace environment are constantly changing, it is time to engage one another and discuss how we could learn from the old and embrace the new—a difficult but always-essential step in the change process. We welcome any thoughts or suggestions and are looking forward to your participation. If you have any questions regarding the conference, contact Patsy Lau. When: August 17–18 Society of Actuaries The SOA Asia–Pacific Annual Symposium The SOA is honored to receive support for this event from the Actuarial Society of Malaysia and Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia. This symposium intends to provide a learning and networking platform in the Asia–Pacific region for members and non-members to share their experiences in the actuarial profession and the finance and insurance industries, as well as other fields that relate to actuaries in the region. When: July 6–7, 2017 Health Predictive Analytics Seminar While commercial conferences on predictive analytics, big data, predictive models or data analytics typically focus on manufacturing or other non-insurance applications, this seminar has been designed to cover multiple predictive analytics tracks so that attendees can choose to follow the route that fits their needs: management, beginning or intermediate practitioner, or advanced predictive analytics. When: August 7–8, 2017 Actuarial Research Conference Given the department’s legacy in actuarial education and its risk orientation, we are extremely proud to host ARC 2017 with the theme Actuarial Research at the Crossroads: Transcending Disciplines. Increasing amounts of data, global climate trends, interest rates at or below the zero bound, changing regulatory frameworks, etc., make the actuarial profession ever more challenging. Meeting these challenges—and turning them into opportunities—calls on actuarial education and research to expand the actuarial toolkit and the scope of methods to answer pressing research questions. ARC 2017 will be a venue for actuarial educators, practitioners and researchers interested in these latest developments to exchange ideas and learn from each other. Anyone with inquiries can contact Daniel Bauer or Carmen Brown. When: July 26–29, 2017 |
