STAY TUNED! If you are anticipating additional search filters by attribute and level to align with the CAS Capability Model, it is coming later this Summer. As the CAS begins to code recorded sessions by specific attributes and levels (starting with the 2023 Annual Meeting), these will be tagged in the CAS database of presentations going forward and should be searchable.
But you may use the Capability Model now to help you identify topics. For example, if you want to move up one level under the content area “Functional Expertise,” you may search topics in the particular functional area to expand your knowledge.
Recorded content is searchable by Capability Model attribute and level in the CAS Online Library.

CS-32: Mitigation That Matters: A Wildfire Case Study
In recent years, insurers have been increasing rates, non-renewing risks and refining their rating plans to account for wildfire risk. While these actions may address insurer profitability, they do little for the homes in high-risk areas who see premium increases, policy non-renewals, and commonly are denied new policies by insurance companies even if mitigation efforts have been put in place. Hurricane mitigation credits have long existed in insurance rating plans in exposed states, but wildfires have only recently become financially significant enough to necessitate similar pricing actions from the insurance industry. To date, few companies offer discounts for property-specific home hardening or community mitigation efforts. For the companies who have filed such discounts, they are often modest and judgmentally quantified. Appropriate quantification of the impacts of various mitigation efforts can benefit both insurers and consumers, as well as inform public policy and public safety decisions. In this session we will discuss actuarial considerations and approaches for developing wildfire mitigation credits and the results of the wildfire mitigation case studies presented in the paper Catastrophe Models for Wildfire Mitigation: Quantifying Credits and Benefits to Homeowners and Communities.

CS-26: Breaking the Mold: The Surprising Growth of Fronting Insurance Carriers and Managing General Agents
This sessions begins with a short history and the evolution of the state of the market for P&C fronting carriers, especially its role in allowing MGAs, insurtechs and other start-ups to get to market. MGAs/MGUs are one of the fastest growing parts of the P&C market, but even within the dynamic MGA/MGUs ecosystem the front and risk participating fronts are growing even faster.

CS-22: Evaluating and Selecting a Bayesian MCMC Model
This session will walk through the process of evaluating and selecting a Bayesian MCMC model from amongst a set of models. The models were created to develop loss reserve estimates. Sometimes, one can have multiple models which produce plausible results and how to select between those models to find the one that is the best model or choosing to use model averaging may not be clear the first time one uses Bayesian MCMC. Occasionally, a model will generate warning messages indicating that there were numerical problems in the iterative process used to solve for parameters which would make using a given model unsafe and there will be an example to illustrate what that looks like and the diagnostic tools available. The intent of the session is to offer examples to those new to using Bayesian MCMC to illustrate how to use the tools at hand to help with the decision process. There will be some comments during the presentation to point out how the current set of tools has helped make working in the Bayesian MCMC modeling environment more practical in recent years. The session will not cover the theory underlying the tools that are demonstrated.

CS-20: ERM Case Study (interactive Participation): Risk/Reward Decision-Making Strategy ,Considering ERM Standards of Practice
In this session we will be discussing 2-3 case studies with interactive participation. The panelists will then lead the audience in corresponding discussions as the case studies relate to some of the ERM actuarial standards of practice. Join us in an interactive discussion and on the spot polling.

CS-2: Introduction to Accurate GLM
In traditional generalized linear models (GLMs), categorical features are often treated with one-hot encoding. However, this method of encoding removes any ordering information inherent in the data. With accurate GLM, we propose to utilize an alternative encoding approach that allows us to preserve the ordering information. In this presentation, we will introduce the accurate GLM approach to modeling and discuss what motivated the approach. We will make a comparison of this approach to traditional GLM and generalized additive model (GAM) approaches and illustrate the approach through simulated data modeling exercises and a case study.

CS-17: Emerging Risk: Identifying Emerging Risk while Differentiating Unknown Unknowns with Elephants in the Room
In recent years, there have been some watershed events that have changed traditional thinking about risk, at least for a period. Did we think of 9/11 on September 10, 2002? Did we think of pandemics before March 2020. Were they truly unknown unknowns that just happened (black swans) or where they elephants in the room? Were they predictable? This session will take you on an interactive excursion of the current risk environment. We are saving a seat for you on this excursion. The plan is for interactive dialogue amongst the speakers and the audience in an interactive discussion.

CS-15: Do You Have What It Takes to Be in the C-suite?
C-suite executives have a range of skills outside of their technical skills. Some of the most important skills are leadership and communication, as well as motivating and managing staff. These skills are typically not learned through textbooks but are acquired through practice. This session will highlight approaches that actuaries can use to develop these skills. This session will also focus on some of the hurdles that different groups may face in the current workplace (e.g. women, younger versus older generations, different cultures, etc.) and discuss approaches for overcoming the hurdles.
