ALUCA 2010 Conference

CONFERENCE REGISTRATIONS HAVE CLOSED!!! ANOTHER SELL-OUT EVENT.

The ALUCA 2010 conference will be held from 23 - 27 October 2010 in the tranquil surroundings of the Novotel Twin Waters Resort - Maroochydore, Queensland.

In line with previous years, there has been a tremendous level of interest and all available places have been filled, well before the official closing date. We are fortunate to have also received outstanding support from sponsors and exhibitors. A fantastic program is in place and we are looking forward to "best ever" conference again this year.

The Theme of the conference is Generations Change ...the next wave

2010 is the start of a new decade which is already seeing major demographic, economic, legislative, medical and technological changes and this wave of change will only accelerate across all the markets in which ALUCA members are working. The structure of the conference program has been designed to mirror the needs of the ALUCA professional in these new times.

Each day has an overriding theme ranging from the environment in which we all currently work through to the future of the life risk industry and how we as risk insurance professionals prepare ourselves fully to manage major changes we may face in the future.

The Conference Plenary Sessions are designed to identify the key higher level issues that will impact us all whether we are in underwriting, claims, product, legal or elsewhere and will set the scene for the specific technical topics to be covered in the Concurrent Sessions. They will all be directly relevant to conference delegates. Issues such as the impact of demographic, political, economic, legislative, technological and medical changes on the risk insurance industry both now and in the future and how we as professionals must prepare ourselves for such change will be covered. Among the Plenary Session presenters will be a leading social demographer, a panel of CEOs representing the Australian and New Zealand markets, a panel of risk insurance and technology experts and a professor of medical statistics who is leading an international study on major health trends.

The Concurrent Sessions will be broken down into specific streams such as Underwriting, Claims or Product/General and this will allow delegates to either follow one discipline stream or mix their choices in order to broaden their perspective as a professional. These sessions will be both technically informative and highly interactive. Professional colleagues will provide insight into specific topics based on their experience and knowledge and allow you to consider their views and offer your own.
