To The

Joint Regional Seminar

2018

OBJECTIVE The Joint Regional Seminar (JRS) is an annual event co-organized by the Institute & Faculty of Actuaries, Actuaries Institute Australia and Society of Actuaries with the support of the local actuarial societies in the region. It is designed to assist actuaries and other professionals in meeting their CPD requirements. The JRS Organising Committee is pleased to be once again hosting the JRS, which will take place on 30-31 July 2018 in Kuala Lumpur.

THE SEMINAR Increasing digitisation in the insurance industry is becoming more certain as a trend for where we are heading towards. In reality, we have already seen its impact being felt in areas such as business strategy, marketing philosophy and product offerings. It has driven changes to companies’ organisational structure and work culture in order to further embrace the challenges and opportunities arising in the new digital world. These changes happening as well as associated challenges are not just impacting corporations, but are very relevant to our Actuarial profession. Like the technology itself, insurers’ understanding of the impact of digitisation is evolving rapidly. Not long ago we were asking the question “Is this important?”. Now the question has become “What do we do about it?”. Hence the theme of this year’s JRS is “Back to the Future – Challenges and Opportunities in an Increasingly Digital World”. Some key topics in the Kuala Lumpur JRS are: How Digital is Changing Insurance Asset Management - Now and In the Future (by Aberdeen Standard Investments) Implementing Artificial Intelligence with Big Data for Life and Health Insurers - A Case Study on Digital Intervention

Solution (by EY) Role of Technology in Driving Transformation of the Insurance Industry – Catalyst, Driver, Incubator? (by Willis Towers

Watson) The Impact of Digitalisation on Critical Illness Business - with Insight from Gen Re's Dread Disease Survey (by GenRe) Transforming Insurance to the New Technological Age (by SCOR)

CPD The Joint Regional Seminar qualifies for (Actuaries Institute Australia / IFoA / SOA / ASM) Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Actuarial members may find it a useful contribution to their personal professional development. A maximum of 8.3 CPD hours* can be claimed from the Kuala Lumpur JRS. The amount of hours recorded is left to the discretion of the individual. * 1 CPD hour = 60 minutes
