Plenary 1: Emerging fields, evolving risks

Rade Musulin, Evelyn Yong, Rick Shaw, Elizabeth Baker, Brett Peppler, Tim Gorst

As actuaries move into an ever wider range of fields – from data analytics to climate change to AI and more – our views of risk management also need to evolve.  In this plenary, we assess how young actuaries can train themselves to think even more broadly to address and tackle these new and emerging risks.

COVID has changed all our lives. In this plenary, we bring together experienced actuaries from various fields to talk about the real-time pressures they faced making decisions on lockdowns, forecasting, modelling and pricing/reserving, all to give a unique actuarial lens into the global pandemic and how to make decisions when the price of failure is high.
