Furthermore, you are invited to visit our website for all published online trainings here.

Web Session: "Macro-Level Actuarial Reserving Models" on 20/21 October 2022, 9:00-17:00 & 9:00-12:30 CEST

Over time, the understanding of all the assumptions behind the typically used reserving models can have grown a bit stale, and more recent developments might not have percolated all the way to the day-to-day practice. This web session will help the participants to overcome this.
The most widely used deterministic macro-level models, such as the Chain Ladder and the Bornhuetter-Ferguson model, will be discussed in full detail during this web session, but also stochastic macro-level models, such as the OverDispersed Poisson model or ODP model for example, will be covered. This entails a proper freshing up of the underlying assumptions and how the model is estimated, but also checks on determining if the chosen model is appropriate for the data at hand, and under which circumstances one should go for one type of macro-level model or the other.
In this web training a detailed overview is provided of the aforementioned models and during the practical sessions, R code is provided on how to implement most of the discussed topics, hereby rendering the participants completely autonomous after the webinar.
Your early-bird registration fee is € 450.00 plus 19% VAT until 8 September 2022. After this date, the fee will be € 585.00 plus 19% VAT.

Web Session: "Whistleblowing - Practical Education for Actuaries" on 24 October 2022, 9:30-17:00 CEST

The purpose of this web session is to prepare actuaries for situations where they might need to speak up or blow the whistle.
A natural part of professional actuarial work is dealing with conflicts and dilemmas. The web session is a mixture of theory, practical examples and lessons from others who have blown the whistle.
The web session will include breakout sessions to discuss materials covered and to enable participants to share their own experiences.
Your early-bird registration fee is € 300.00 plus 19% VAT until 12 September 2022. After this date, the fee will be € 400.00 plus 19% VAT.

Web Session: "Implementation of an Efficient ERMF-Process" on 26/27 October 2022, 9:00-17:00 CEST

The learning objectives of this course are:

Match the changed environment to risk management frameworks including policies, activities and processes
Understand the concept of change modes (going concern – crisis, and states in between) and corresponding actions (risk management, operational resilience)
Learn about opportunities to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of an Enterprise Risk Management Framework
Gain insight in a company’s culture and the levers for changing a culture

Your early-bird registration fee is € 600.00 plus 19% VAT until 14 September 2022. After this date, the fee will be €780.00 plus 19% VAT.

Web Session: "Resilience for Actuaries" on 2-4 November 2022, 9:00-13:30 CET

For more than two years now, we have involuntarily found ourselves often in unknown territory, maybe even too often! Things that had never been imagined in any scenario analysis did happen. We needed and still need to quickly adapt to an ever-changing environment as we don’t know what the future holds for us. While trying to juggle with all that adaptation, it also means that “business as usual” needs to get done.
Needless to say, that “business as usual” can also bring its share of challenges and stress with time-consuming projects (e.g. IFRS 17), ad-hoc queries and analyses and back-to-back meetings.
While actuaries are experts at quantifying risk and uncertainty in their sleep, being awake in the new normal can bring its load of (new) uncertainties that can’t be quantified but need to be managed at a personal level. To build resilience is like to build a robust internal re-assurance program for you! You’ll be in a better position to absorb shocks and volatility, even when things seem out of control.
Your early-bird registration fee is € 600.00 plus 19% VAT until 21 September 2022. After this date, the fee will be €780.00 plus 19% VAT.

Web Session: "Machine Learning: More Art than Science?" on 8 November 2022, 9:00-12:00 CET

The notion of machine learning is truly omnipresent in these days. In this web session we thus give participants an introduction to this interesting field and show machine learning techniques. We learn how we are able to implement a workflow and give an overview of several methods such as random forest, gradient boosting, and neural networks. A vital step of machine learning algorithms is the development and training phase of models, in particular, in order to build up powerful applications. Do machine learning models have to be black box applications or are we able to bring light into the darkness? This is a vital question from a practical point of view, which we answer in this web session. Companies are concentrating more and more on using machine learning for several applications, and, therefore, it is important to have a closer look at the current regulatory requirements.
By focusing on all these aspects of machine learning, we give practical examples from the insurance and banking industry: we provide Python codes such that participants directly see how machine learning workflows can be implemented.
Your early-bird registration fee is € 150.00 plus 19% VAT until 27 September 2022. After this date, the fee will be € 205.00 plus 19% VAT.

Web Session: "Solvency II Internal Models: Which Techniques for A New Wave?" on 9 November 2022, 10:00-12:00 CET

In the context where further new capital models are under recent development, especially in Europe under Solvency II, the aim of this web session is to provide an overview of the recently developed modelling techniques related to the derivation of full distributions for the calculation of the capital requirement within Internal Models.
The web session will provide a specific emphasis on enhancements of the Least Square Monte Carlo (LSMC) method, including refining their calibration and validation, as well as the development of the so-called Multi-Level Monte Carlo (MLMC) method, allowing for a smart allocation of the inner and outer simulations in any Nested Simulation approach.
Your early-bird registration fee is € 100.00 plus 19% VAT until 28 September 2022. After this date, the fee will be € 140.00 plus 19% VAT.
