We are very pleased that the IAA Sections and the Institut des Actuaires will host the Sections Virtual Colloquium (SVC) 2020 on actuview next week. This online event was created since – like so many other conferences & seminars during this crisis – the actual on-site colloquium in Paris had to be cancelled due to COVID-19.

The SVC program will feature 75+ recorded sessions and 7 live webinars (full program). Attached you´ll find the special newsletter we have sent out for promotion yesterday. The registration for the live sessions is free and can be done via the event page; all recorded sessions will published starting from Monday and will then be online available permanently.

Do you want to get an overview of the Corona pandemic with a clear mandate to differentiate facts from emotional, “half-news” or even fake news?
Do you need a guidance for a better understanding of possible implications for insurance industry, particularly life insurance?

If yes, we invite you to join our webinar „Update COVID-19: Medical & Epidemiological Aspects: The Onerous Way out of Lock Down” on 25 June 2020 | 14:00 – 15:30 CEST. The registration fee for the webinar is € 100.00 plus 19 % VAT only.

In many countries the worst now seems to be over or do we face a second more challenging wave? In this webinar, Florian Gomez, Head of Global Methodology (L&H) of PartnerRe, and Achim Regenauer, Chief Medical Officer present the new insights (e.g. reinfection, recovery, lethality, state-of-the-art of vaccines etc.) and scenarios about the further evolvement and tackling this new pandemic.

Topics:
– Dynamics of infection, and what the first wave tells us
– Linking observed cases and deaths to basic epidemiological models
– How different countries compare to each other in the way the outbreak developed
– Complications of COVID-19
– Immunity, the chameleon. Duration? Reinfection?
– Correct interpretation of CFR, IFR
– Exit strategies – which ones are most promising?
– Cryptic transmission of SARS-CoV2 – a negligible aspect?
– Genomics: how likely we will encounter an aggressive variant
– A dreaded second wave at the horizon, next winter season?

Upcoming virtual section colloquium replaces the previously scheduled IAA Section Colloquium which was to take place in a few weeks in Paris.

The French Institute of Actuaries and the IAA Sections have transformed many of the scheduled talks into live webinars. In addition, over 60 presentations have already been pre-recorded and will be available to access on actuview during the colloquium week.

Again this year, the IAA Sections have partnered with actuview to provide this content to all their members. H

Are you looking for insights in a real product development project during Corona-period?

If yes, joining our webinar „Lockdown Challenge: Lean and Digital Life Product Development in Demanding Times” on 24 June | 10:00 – 11:30 CEST is a must. The registration fee for the webinar is € 100.00 plus 19 % VAT only.

The need for new life insurance products in the low interest rate environment and the limitations during lockdown period and physical distancing have been the starting point for a product development of a special kind.

The webinar leads through the major steps of the development cycle for a new product for retirement provision (savings). In addition, we will have a closer look at different ‘puzzle pieces’, that are available in the market and which accelerate and facilitate the development of the product.

No doubts, technology offers solutions that may help to handle the present challenges and issues of the industry much better. The major question is, how to get aware of them and how to use them right. Furthermore, other available resources and further ‘puzzle pieces’ may complete the work.

You can find all additional information in this print version as well as on our website where you will find the registration form. An overview on other upcoming events can be downloaded as well.

We invite you to join our webinar „COVID-19 & ERM for Life Insurers: Perspectives” on 18 June | 15:00 – 16:30 CEST.

At the core of effective risk management is the ability to understand and manage to tail events. In this regard, the COVID-19 pandemic is raising some profound questions for risk practitioners. In this webinar, Tony Dardis, Chloe Lau, and Ariel Weis discuss what they have seen as the emerging issues, considered from the perspectives of: risk analytics; risk strategy; and the role of the Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”) & centralized risk function within life insurance companies. After this webinar you will gain a broader picture and understanding of the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has posed for risk practitioners at its inception.

The registration fee for the webinar is € 100.00 plus 19 % VAT only.

!!SPECIAL DISCOUNT!!
For participants who also attend the webinar „Novel Coronavirus – The Impact on Life Insurance Mortality & Underwriting” on 15 June 2020, we offer a 20% discount on the webinar „COVID-19 & ERM for Life Insurers: Perspectives” (webinar fee in this case: € 80.00 + VAT). After your registration for both webinars, please send an email to contact@actuarial-academy.com so that we can adjust your fee accordingly.

You may find all additional information in this print version as well as on our website where you will find the registration form. An overview on other upcoming events can be downloaded as well.

W invite you to join our webinar „Novel Coronavirus – The Impact on Life Insurance Mortality and Underwriting, and Related Modelling Challenges” on 15 June | 14:00 – 16:00 CEST. The registration fee for the webinar is € 100.00 plus 19 % VAT only.

The current pandemic due to COVID-19 raises many questions regarding the modelling of the propagation of a new virus, with specific characteristics, and with incomplete historical data. In this context of epidemics in an early stage, estimating the key parameters of the dynamics (infection rate, fatality rate) remains challenging, along with the resulting impact on life insurance.

This webinar will first provide a high-level presentation of the many issues related to COVID-19 that impact life insurer mortality. This will be followed with some early mortality experience and a discussion about the difficulties in using this data. The webinar will also provide with some ideas for changes to life insurance underwriting to help cope with COVID-19. Finally, the last part of the webinar will be dedicated to present and discuss the modelling challenges related to this pandemic.

We invite you to join our webinar „Deep Learning Advanced: Generative Method for Risk Factor Modelling and Model Validation” on 20 May 2020 | 10:00 – 12:00 CEST. The registration fee for the webinar is € 100.00 plus 19 % VAT only.

The webinar will introduce generative deep learning techniques in general and then present several use cases applying them to typical tasks from risk modelling and model validation.

We will demonstrate where the sweet spot of these techniques is and how these techniques can be used to validate or replace currently used methods and models or applied in combination with established statistical methods.

The webinar will contain detailed case studies for demonstrating the capabilities of generative deep learning methods, such as applications to copulas, multivariate risk factor distributions, risk factor dimension reduction and detection of data errors.
