Presented in a "talk show" format, this plenary session will feature a host interviewing leading insurance industry CEO's about their careers, industry vision and actuarially focused advice. Our talk show host will be Patricia Guinn, a Managing Director with Towers Watson, and her guests will be Michel M. Liès, Group CEO, Swiss RE; Greig Woodring, CEO, RGA Reinsurance Company; and CEO's of two other leading insurance companies.

The talk show guests will share their insights and perspectives on a wide range of topics, such as:

• Potential opportunities and threats arising out of demographic and generational shifts, advancing technology, new regulatory approaches, and other changes to the environments in which we operate. What are the implications for insurance companies and for actuaries?
• In mature markets, how will insurance companies, large and small, cope with sustained low economic growth rates, and with new competition? In the developing areas of the world, what will be the nature and role of the insurance industry?
• What types of actuarial talent and personal skill sets will be needed to support our evolving industry?
