The Actuarial Society of Hong Kong (ASHK) is proud to host the 2018 Asian Actuarial Conference (AAC), themed "Redefining the New Insurance World”, which will take place from 16 to 19 September 2018 at the Kerry Hotel in Hong Kong. The Programme Committee is starting the search for speakers to present at this prodigious event. Would you like to be part of the programme?
Key Topics and Submission Process
The entire conference will take place over 2 ½ days and the sessions are tentatively planned as follows:
- 1 key note speaker
- 3 plenary sessions
- 36 parallel sessions of 45 minutes each (including Q&A)
The Programme Committee has identified the following core disciplines of topics.
- Life insurance
- Property & casualty (i.e. Non-life or general insurance)
- Health insurance
- Pension, employee benefits and social security
- Reinsurance
- Risk, capital and value
- Innovations (e.g. in terms of products, markets, customers and distribution)
- Data, analytics, model applications and technology
- Regulating insurance industry (e.g. international accounting and solvency standards development)
- Future of the actuary
- Environmental, climatic changes
- Professionalism, ethics & values
These topics have been designed to encourage and inspire contributions; the Programme Committee has chosen not to provide a more detailed list of specific topics as we do not wish to narrow the scope of the Conference. The programme will be shaped by attendees, for attendees.
Speakers who are interested to give a presentation at the 2018 AAC shall make their submissions in English (including biography, outlines and presentation slides/paper) via online submission tool by 28 February 2018. Only selected speakers will be notified in April 2018.
SCOR Actuarial Award in Asia – 2018
All accepted full length papers will be eligible for consideration for the "SCOR Actuarial Award in Asia – 2018” of US$5,000, proudly sponsored by SCOR Group. The winner will be selected using criteria that include the command of actuarial concepts, the quality of the analysis instruments used, the clarity and the insightfulness in communication as well as the potential practical application of the topic in the insurance world.
