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.

Topics in Commercial Auto Modeling
In this session, the first speaker will provide details about the ISO planned revision of its Commercial Auto classification plan using GLM techniques. He will mention modeling challenges and results.
Building a statistically sound model is just one piece in implementing a successful model. Another critical piece is to get buy in from the business customers by providing them a better understanding, trust and ownership of the model. The second speaker will discuss effective ways on getting this critical buy in.

The Continuously Evolving Examination Process
The exam process continues to evolve and adapt to the needs of the time, whether that means reflecting advancements in actuarial methodology & theory into the syllabus, modifying the examination structure to address the needs of future fellows and associates, or refining existing procedures in an ongoing effort to provide high quality exams. This session will assess the impact of recent enhancements to the exam process, highlight current initiatives and discuss future challenges.
The CAS benefits greatly from its own members who volunteer to serve on various committees, and its success as an organization is dependent upon the feedback and insight it receives from those volunteers. In light of this, a member of the examination committee will also be presenting at this session, relating their first-hand experience volunteering for the committee and offering their unique observations and insights of the exam process.

The Challenges of UBI Analytics
Many insurance companies spend considerable amount of time and energy building their UBI product and collecting data only to find that the data they have accumulated is inadequate. During this session, panelists will discuss UBI data strategy, focusing on how to determine the best level of data to collect, expectations for data quantity and common issues with data quality.

Recent Extreme Weather Events: Unusual or Unprecedented?
Catastrophe losses, by definition, are supposed to be low frequency, high severity events. However, in the last several years in the U.S., we’ve seen hurricanes, hundreds of powerful and violent tornadoes, several major wildfires, a prolonged drought in the West, floods and winter storms. Around the world, there have been unprecedented floods and heat waves. Have we just been unlucky, experiencing several back-to-back extreme events? Or, if recent years are not unusual or unexpected, how bad might things get in future extreme events? Panelists will explore perception vs. reality, give their perspectives of what we should expect in the years to come, and discuss the extent to which global climate change could impact the way catastrophe losses are modeled.

Is Your Usage-Based Insurance Program Succeeding?
Usage-based auto insurance (UBI) for personal and commercial lines is largely focused on measuring the effects of policyholders' driving behaviors, but less attention has been paid to measuring the behavior of UBI programs themselves. In this session we will examine different aspects of UBI, including pricing segmentation and the customer experience, and identify quantitative and qualitative measures for performance and timeframes over which to evaluate. Particular attention will be paid to interpreting thin data and negative short-term returns on investment that may initially result from UBI initiatives.

How Oil Limits and Related Interest Rates Can Be Expected to Affect Insurers
Consistently high oil prices are leading toward a long-term contraction of the economy that has not been recognized by most forecasters. Panelists will explain how recent successes in US oil extraction fit into the overall picture, and why there is still reason for concern. Panelists will discuss their expectations for short-term and long-term interest rate environments, and the potential effects this could have on insurance pricing, loss reserves and assets. They will also address the impact that an end to quantitative easing might have on interest rates, stock prices, bond defaults and insurer assets.

Exploring Ranges of Ultimates and Reserves and Their Relationship to Loss Emergence Patterns
Actuaries often talk about the proverbial range of reasonable estimates, for instance, in relation to reserves for financial reporting purposes. Actuaries and stakeholders are also interested in the distribution of possible outcomes, for instance, in the context of enterprise risk management. In this session, the speakers will facilitate a discussion around:
The relationship of the uncertainty of estimates of ultimate loss and of reserves, considering the effect of the loss payment pattern
How the uncertainty of the estimates decreases as the exposure period matures
Retrospective testing of assumptions used in actuarial valuations
The distribution of estimates/outcomes in a 1-year horizon
The asessment of new information on last year's analysis and picks.
Implications on the estimates for the current exposure period, for business re-forecasting and for reserving, and also for a start-up company, will be highlighted. Examples will be presented to illustrate the concepts and facilitate an interactive discussion.

Economic Scenario Generators: Usage and Trends in the P&C Industry
Economic scenarios and economic scenario generators (ESG) are increasingly being used in the P&C insurance industry as one of the central quantitative tool for effective enterprise risk management (ERM).

Credit Risk Special Interest Section
The Credit Risk Special Interest Section (CRiSIS for short) will be conducting its annual in-person meeting at the 2013 CAS Annual meeting. Current members as well as non-members with an interest in credit risk are welcome to join us for this session. The CRiSIS was formed to promote discussion and the exchange of ideas on the subject of credit risk evaluation, to provide forums for such discussions to take place, and to advance the knowledge of actuarial science as applied to credit risk through both original research and surveys of members’ and subscribers’ collective knowledge.
At this meeting, we will discuss the Section’s recent activities, to develop: 1) a comprehensive web-based resource for casualty actuaries dealing with credit risk, and 2) a description and model of approaches commonly used by casualty actuaries to evaluate and manage credit risk.
