CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS
The CAS Continuing Education Policy applies to all ACAS and FCAS members who provide actuarial services. Actuarial services are defined in the CAS Code of Professional Conduct as "professional services provided to a Principal by an individual acting in the capacity of an actuary. Such services include the rendering of advice, recommendations, findings, or opinions based upon actuarial considerations."
Members who are or could be subject to the continuing education requirements of a national actuarial organization can meet the requirements of the CAS Continuing Education Policy by satisfying the continuing education requirements established by a national actuarial organization recognized by the Policy.
This activity may qualify for CE Credits for the RPM Seminar for CAS members. Workshop attendees may qualify up to 7.2 CE Credits. Those attendees who participate in a Breakfast Roundtable can add .9 CE Credits per roundtable. Participants should claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. CAS members earn 1 CE Credit per 50 minutes of educational session time not to include breaks or lunch.
*The amount of CE credit that can be earned for participating in this activity must be assessed by the individual attendee. It also may be different for individuals who are subject to the requirements of organizations other than the American Academy of Actuaries.
UNIVERSITY OF CAS (UCAS)
The CAS enables members to earn continuing education credits through its UCAS online service. Visit the University of CAS to begin this experience in education. UCAS provides a virtual world of opportunities to help enhance your professional education needs. Through capture of live content from CAS meetings and seminars, UCAS will offer a variety of session presentations, audio recordings, podcasts, and recorded Webinars.
Please visit the UCAS Web Site for more information.
CONSENT TO USE OF MULTIMEDIA
Registration and attendance at or participation in CAS meetings, seminars, and other activities constitutes an agreement by the registrant to the CAS use and distribution (both now and in the future) of the registrant or attendee's image or voice in photographs, videotapes, electronic reproduction, and audiotapes of such events and activities.
PAPERLESS SEMINAR
Green seminars incorporate solutions designed to minimize negative impacts on the environment. The CAS has taken a step in that direction by making the RPM seminar "paperless," which means:
- Paper copies of session handouts will not be provided in the meeting rooms.
- Paper copies of the list of attendees will not be distributed, though a few copies will be available for review at the RPM seminar registration desk.
- Seminar evaluations will be administered electronically
- Session slides will be posted on the RPM seminar Web Site in advance of the seminar so that attendees can download, print, and bring handouts as desired. Please note that not every presenter will choose to provide a presentation in advance for his/her session.
Once at the RPM Seminar, attendees are encouraged to view the list of attendees online, complete the online evaluation forms, and download presentations to a USB flash drive for the sessions they attend.
The CAS appreciates your participation in this effort to reduce the seminar's carbon footprint and impact on the environment.
SUGGESTED ATTIRE
Business casual attire is suggested for all sessions, as well as the evening receptions on Monday and Tuesday. As meeting room temperatures and personal comfort levels may vary, it is recommended that you bring a sweater or jacket to the sessions.

While reservations must be made prior to Tuesday, February 21, 2017, in order to receive the $269.00 rate, there is no guarantee that rooms will be available should you wait until this date. The CAS strongly suggests that you make your room reservations early to receive a room before the room block fills.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING OFFICIAL RPM SEMINAR HOTEL
The Casualty Actuarial Society is able to conduct high-quality seminars at desirable sites for a reasonable registration fee because a block of hotel rooms is reserved for meeting attendees. In exchange for filling the required number of sleeping rooms, the CAS is permitted to use the hotel's meeting space at no cost, thus keeping registration fees low. In addition, meeting attendees receive a reduced rate for their sleeping rooms over leisure travelers. We kindly request that all meeting attendees take advantage of the group rate and stay at the official RPM Seminar property, the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina.
FEATURED SPEAKER
ERIC O'NEILL
CYBER SECURITY IN THE AGE OF BREACHES AND ESPIONAGE
Eric will provide in-depth coverage on how the insurance industry (and actuarial roles) are impacted by cyber security policy and practices. Eric will also provide tips for prevention.
About Eric O'Neill
In 2001, Eric O'Neill helped capture the most notorious spy in United States history: Robert Hanssen, a 25-year veteran of the FBI. The remarkable true events of his life are the inspiration behind the critically acclaimed dramatic thriller Breach, starring Ryan Philippe as O'Neill. The film set inside the FBI -the gatekeeper of the nation's most sensitive and potentially volatile secrets- is the story of the greatest security breach in US history. Preceding Hanssen's arrest, O'Neill worked with the spy within the information assurance division that protected all classified FBI intelligence. O'Neill gained Hanssen's trust and used that relationship to slowly draw the traitor out of deep cover.
O'Neill began his career in the FBI as a graduate of the FBI's Intelligence Program. He spent the first five years of his career as a special surveillance group field operative tasked to surveil and monitor foreign, national, and domestic terrorists and spies. He transitioned from field operative to direct undercover work focusing on Hanssen. Although his prior training had focused on "ghosting" targets from the shadows, he engaged his target in conversation in order to elicit information needed to catch Hanssen in the act of espionage. The singular nature of the assignment, one with little backup or support, required O'Neill to draw from deep reserves of courage and confidence within himself to battle Hanssen's mind games and aggressive probing and learn to "stop reacting to Hanssen and begin acting." Currently, Eric O'Neill runs The Georgetown Group, a premier investigative and security consultancy, where he specializes in counterintelligence operations, investigations into economic espionage, cyber security penetrations, internal investigations, catching the trusted insider and security risk assessment consulting out of Washington, DC.
Eric is also the National Security Strategist for Carbon Black, the leader in next generation endpoint protection, where he provides insight and advice on strategic cyber security issues and will work to ensure Carbon Black is an active participant in the conversation about the national strategy for cyber security. O'Neill's story is one of patriotism, of decisive action in the face of fear, and of learning to maintain confidence in ability even if it looks like success is impossible. He has told his story in national media, in print, on radio, and on television including 20/20, Nightline, Hardball with Chris Mathews, Fox News Power Player of the Week with Chris Wallace, CNN, CSPAN's Washington Journal, NPR's "Fresh Air with Terry Gross," World News Now, and MTV.

WORKSHOP 1: SEVERE WEATHER
A laptop or other connected device is NOT needed for this workshop
This popular workshop gives the attendees an opportunity to learn more about how Natural Catastrophe Models are developed and used within Property and Casualty Insurance. The workshop starts with a series of sessions that will explore the science underlying three Catastrophe Models (Earthquake, Wildfire, Severe Convective Storm), with an opportunity for a Q&A session with representatives from Cat modeling firms. The afternoon will include sessions that explore how weather information is being used in the insurance industry, focusing in on current topics of interest including Flood insurance and Catastrophe bonds.
WORKSHOP 2: PREDICTIVE MODELING
A Laptop is required for this workshop.
This popular, hands-on, interactive predictive modeling workshop has been offered at the RPM seminar now for several years. It will be conducted exclusively in the R statistical computing language, which is widely adopted by statisticians and data scientists.
The course will provide a refresher of regression theory before proceeding to a variety of practical modeling applications and case studies. The focus will be on generalized linear models (GLMs) — their specification, interpretation, and validation. A variety of distributions will be covered, including classical, Poisson, logistic, gamma, and Tweedie. Other topics will be discussed and illustrated as time permits. All datasets will be distributed to attendees prior to the seminar.
Important note: familiarity with R is assumed. An "introduction to R" presentation will be distributed before the seminar which will contain a primer on basic features and statistical functions, as well as installation instructions, that will enable beginners to get up to speed. While R beginners are encouraged to attend, they should make some attempt to become comfortable with the language prior to the workshop. This workshop has been designed for beginning predictive modelers, but more experienced modelers seeking a refresher or a deeper working knowledge of R have attended past workshops and expressed satisfaction with the coverage of topics.
WORKSHOP 3: PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP
This workshop will explore the different stages of product development with hands on exercises for the attendee. Industry leaders will serve as facilitators to review historical processes and to help guide the attendees throughout the day. Attendees will work in teams to develop fictitious products that will be discussed and integrated into the facilitator's lesson plans.
WORKSHOP 4: INTRODUCTION TO R
A Laptop is required for this workshop.
Are you one of the millions of actuaries around the world who wish they could draw maps showing the progress of hurricanes, fit generalized linear models to predict sporting events, create complex Monte Carlo simulations, or fit loss distributions? Or maybe you're the sort of person who wants to fit a stochastic reserving model and have a computer display stacks of pretty pictures for you. Do you want one point of access for all of your Excel, text, database and web-based data? Are you fascinated by programmers whose first names begin with the letter "R"?
If that's the sort of person you are, this is the workshop for you. And if none of those people is you, maybe all you want is to be able to get R to work for your computer. We can take care of that too.
R is the single most important technological advance for actuaries since the invention of the pocket calculator. Come see what all the fuss is about.
Requirements for this workshop:
- A functioning laptop (PC or Mac)
- Installation of R and RStudio in advance of the workshop (instructions and support for this will be provided)
- Patience, enthusiasm and a sense of humor (instructions for this are available upon request)
WORKSHOP 5: CAPITAL ALLOCATION AND RISK/REWARD DECISION-MAKING IN AN ERM FRAMEWORK
This workshop will provide a historical primer on the subject and address past and current research of the practical ways in reflecting the cost of capital for ratemaking and decision-making. This primer will discuss aspects as developed by Merton-Perold, Myers-Read, Mango's asset share model, and the RMK procedures. Also considered will be current research as it relates to how actual capital should perhaps be considered in percentile layers and/or traunches, based on the risk metrics considered. We have come a long way in ratemaking since using premium to surplus ratios of 30 years ago. Let's continue the evolution.
A laptop is recommended for participation in this session as we will have hands-on technical sessions where the audience will be charged with an exercise in allocating capital to lines of business considering various methods. Participants will work in groups to make strategic recommendations based on their respective results. Role playing will be involved. Attendees will have access to data in advance.
WORKSHOP 6: PREDICTIVE MODELING — ADVANCED
A Laptop is required for this workshop.
Although the Generalized Linear Model (GLM) is a natural foundation for much actuarial work, it is best viewed as a starting point, not the last word on the subject. This day-long, hands-on, R-based workshop will discuss a variety of statistical learning methods that either refine or serve as complements to the GLM framework. Generalized Additive Models [GAM] will be discussed as a means to capture potentially complex nonlinear relationships.
Multilevel/hierarchical models, ridge regression, and lasso regression will be discussed as a way of achieving shrinkage ("credibility weighting") effects within linear models.
Various forms of tree-based modeling (CART, random forests, boosted trees) will be used to exemplify the use of non-parametric, machine learning, and ensemble methods. Time permitting, other machine learning methods such as support vector machines [SVM] and artificial neural networks [ANN] will also be discussed. Core themes such as the bias-variance tradeoff and cross-validation will be woven throughout the presentation. The workshop will assume a working knowledge of the R statistical computing environment and GLM modeling.
WORKSHOP 7: DATA VISUALIZATION: GIS FOR ACTUARIES WORKSHOP
A Laptop is required for this workshop.
This workshop is intended to introduce actuaries to the wonderful world of geographic information science (GIS). GIS can be used to visualize insurance data at a range of scales all the way down to the policy or location level. Additional applications include appending third-party data, enhancing analysis using geographic relationships, and the creation of customized or granular rating territories.
The first part will be a lecture on GIS basics such as data types, geocoding addresses, locating and using third-party data, cartographic representation, and simple geoprocessing workflows.
The second half will be a hands-on tutorial taught in ArcGIS for Desktop. Instructions on software and data installation will be provided to all participants that pre-register.
