Ten questions from the Case Clinic Challenge presented at the WAHLU Underwriting Conference (November 14, 2012)

I’m back home from NAILBA and have to admit that was one of the better events I’ve had the pleasure of covering in recent memory.

The 12th annual conference of the Association of Home Office Underwriters (AHOU) was held April 29-May 2 in Orlando. Highlights from the 2012 AHOU Conference include a presentation on the impacts of the economy on the life insurance industry; the new edge on chronic kidney disease; insurance planning for the high net worth market; suicides–are they killing your mortality results; CT scanning and CAD–facts and hype; and emerging themes in rheumatoid arthritis.

The Wisconsin Association of Health and Life Underwriters (WAHLU) has posted slides from the following April 2012 presentations:

Mythbuster by Hank George
Lab Trends by Betsy Sears
Atrial Fibrillation by Dr. Daniel Gutenberger

Some of the slide presentations from this years seminar (May 23, 2012 at JW Marriott in Los Angeles, CA) have been posted at the Society of Actuaries event page.

Life insurance companies in the rapidly expanding Asian marketplace are in a race to make new insurance products available. Increasingly, they are looking for new options to streamline the underwriting process to be able to offer new products quickly and expand their geographic reach. A panel of experts will discuss underwriting best practices and how they can establish a growth platform for quicker product development, response to new business and market expansion. The one-hour event begins on Thursday, August 25, at 3 p.m.Singapore time, which is 12:30 p.m. IST and 3 a.m. EDT.
