Insurance Pricing Strategy Conference with the ICEA: the Actuary in a Changing World and the Potential of Machine Learning
Actuaries usually face challenges such as unprecedented rate increases, the need to simulate the effects of applying different tariffs to clients, or the pricing of innovative products. More and more insurers are using machine learning-based tools to automate tasks, reduce lead times and reduce risks, with approaches based on transparency and auditability, to meet legal requirements.
In this conference, we will analyse the current situation of insurance, together with the most important business, actuarial and advanced analytics trends. We will see some case studies and discuss with some insurers about the challenges they are most concerned about.
The conference will take place in Madrid on-site and will be held in Spanish 🇪🇸
Tickets are free for members of the ICEA.
