⁦@AirCanada⁩ can’t make a decision on a flight scheduled to land in Toronto at 11:30pm - can’t rebook due to weather, but they won’t let anyone check luggage.

@Actuarial_Tutor Your mistake is starting at an introductory level

Confusing slide if I divided experts between financial and non-financial sectors, I would have thought that would cover it. Also 16+8+8=32

Discussion @ #KPMGIC around sharing data. As an industry we need to stop and thing about how data is used https://t.co/iOnAxHsHAV

Refreshing younger panel @ #KPMGIC - themes are digital first and embrace disruption.

Hearing that digital bots can resolve claims in seconds - we also need to remember the flip side. What happens when they deny a claim? #KPMGIC

Wrapping up #SOAannual - great job by many volunteers involved in putting on the sessions and SOA staff for pulling it all together, especially Amy Wojcik. Well done - another successful meeting!

@aaker Good connection with the audience...

[Daniel D Skwire @DanSkwire]

Great quote from a speaker at #SOAAnnual: “It’s not that everyone dies at age 60–it’s just that the sample size reduces significantly.” Spoken like an #actuary!

Dr Tali Sharon advice @ #soaannual is to focus on short term positive results rather than negative in the future. Selling life insurance is a good example of this, we’ll discuss at Session 41 at 1:45 today (at least I will ask Mark Sayre how HavenLife do this)

[Kevin Pledge @KevinPledge]

Behaviour Science plays an important role in our industry. Good to see Dr Tali Sharot @ #SOAannual
