C-10: Florida Market - Cats, Bills, and Signposts for the Future
The Florida property market has seen more than its share of turbulence over the past several years. Major events, such as 2017's Hurricane Irma and 2022's Hurricane Ian, have combined with an extraordinary claims litigation environment to put companies under pressure and create one of the hardest reinsurance markets in decades. While the Florida legislature has recently taken steps to address some of the issues plaguing the state, will it prove to be enough to help stabilize the market?
This session will review some of the key recent events and developments in the Florida property (re)insurance market. In addition, it will feature a deep dive into the claims targeting operations that have helped drive Florida's extreme levels of claim litigation, leading to several company failures and potentially serving as a template for what we might see in other markets in future years.

GS-1: General Session: State of the Insurance Market
With record-high inflation, unrealized investment losses, climate change affecting investor sentiment and war in Europe, the year 2022 was unusual. To top it off, Hurricane Ian made landfall in September and caused the most challenging January 1st reinsurance renewal since the World Trade Center terrorist attack. With many business leaders expecting a recession in 2023, how will the insurance industry react? The first speaker will share his forecast for the major lines of business in 2023-24 (will rates keep up with loss trends?). The second speaker will discuss how technology and a more volatile environment is changing the insurance industry (insurtech, mergers, alternative insurance) and the actuarial work.

CS-8: Commercial Lines Modeling: Theory to Practice
Transitioning from theory to practice with generalized linear models (GLMs) can be challenging. This is especially true with many commercial lines of business, where the exposures are not as homogeneous as they are for personal auto or homeowners. In this session, we will discuss best practices for building GLMs in commercial lines. Topics to be covered include varying exposure bases, handling endorsements, including credit scores/tiering models, adjusting for debits and credits and building a GLM on top of bureau rating, as well as loss development for claims made versus occurrence basis and how to handle third-party data.

CS-45: What Is IFRS 17 and Why Should You Care
January 1, 2023 is an important date for many insurers all around the world. It marks the beginning of IFRS 17 financial reporting and the culmination of tremendous efforts from the industry. Even though the U.S. has decided not to adopt IFRS 17, many insurers will still be impacted and an understanding of the Standard will be required. In this session, we will discuss the basic concepts of IFRS 17, compare IFRS 17 to US GAAP, and discuss why you should care about IFRS 17.

CS-44: Vehicle Fleet Changes: Loss and Safety Impacts
The U.S. vehicle fleet has undergone radical transformations over the last 30 years. Vehicles are more crashworthy than ever and increasingly are equipped with technologies to prevent crashes. However, they are also more powerful, pricey, and complex to repair. Additionally, as consumer tastes have changed, the size and types of vehicles in the vehicle fleet have evolved, and alternatives to naturally aspirated gasoline engines like electrics and hybrids are also increasing in popularity. All of these trends are associated with shifts in claim frequency, claim severity or both.

CS-42: Ugly Side of Innovation
Exploring the less glamorous aspects of successful innovation within an organization, this session will focus on processes for generating and selecting ideas to pursue; reasonable balances of in-house development versus reliance on outside data and technology providers; how to monitor, manage, and measure success during and after development; and developing the right tech stack to support all of the above. There will be brief presentations followed by interactive discussion.

CS-41: The Road to Vehicle Automation from an Insurance Perspective
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) researchers have recently completed groundbreaking research that significantly expands our understanding of the impact of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and driving automation on highway safety and auto insurance. Currently, the most advanced vehicles for sale in the U.S. have Level 2 automation, but the effect on claim frequency is mixed for these systems. The impact of these systems on repair costs and collision claim severities is complex. The enabling sensors can be expensive when damaged becasuse in addition to being replaced, they often need to be recalibrated. However, a deep look at the affected claims has revealed that at least some of the changes in claim severities are due to mean shifting related to the operational speeds of the systems. Finally, the variability in effectiveness of advanced driver assistance systems by vehicle age, driver age, mileage and registered vehicle density will be examined.

CS-38: Reserving with Machine Learning
How is machine learning used for loyalty programs and what can it teach us about insurance claim reserving?
While triangular methods have been a foundational tool for decades, individual claim reserving gives the actuary far more information about changes and trends in the liability. Yet the commonly used individual claim reserving techniques leave some of the most valuable data unexamined.
In this session, we’ll cover the benefits of reserving at the individual claim level and describe an approach that sits at the intersection of data science and actuarial science. This session will also introduce a new actuarial tool – the snapshot date triangle – and demonstrate how it can be combined with machine learning to produce a robust and powerful individual claim reserving system. You will learn why the snapshot date triangle was originally developed for estimating loyalty program liabilities and how it can be used in insurance contexts.

CS-37: Rate Model - How to Improve Speed to Market
This session will help insurers expedite the regulatory review process of state rate filings that contain advanced statistical techniques in rate models. Insurers are often unsure what to include in regulatory filings and how to describe the work performed to make sure is it understood by the regulator reviewing the work. The NAIC Model Review Team will provide some insights into common issues we encounter in reviewing regulatory rate filings that contain advanced statistical models to help insurers avoid multiple submissions that lengthen the time to get a product to market. The attendees will gain an understanding of good, bad and ugly approaches to designing regulatory filing submissions that contain advanced statistical models, with the goal of improving their filing submissions. This session will discuss professional documentation and applicable standards and should qualify for professionalism continuing education credits.
