Keynote: CIAA 50th Annual Conference, Montreal – Future Trends & Innovation for Actuaries

Jim Carroll was the keynote speaker at the Canadian Institute of Actuaries Association’s (CIAA) 50th Annual Conference, held in Montreal in 2013. The CIAA noted that Jim was not only a leading futurist and innovation expert but also a CA — meaning he ‘really understands our group’ — giving his presentation particular credibility with a technically sophisticated audience of actuaries and financial risk professionals. Jim’s session explored the future trends and disruptive forces reshaping insurance, financial services, and risk modeling, challenging actuaries to think about how data, technology, and behavioral shifts were transforming the landscape of risk. It was a milestone 50th-anniversary conference for the association, and Jim’s keynote was chosen to anchor the program as the opening thought-leadership session.
