Akur8, the next generation insurance pricing and reserving platform powered by transparent machine learning and predictive analytics, is excited to announce its Platinum sponsorship of the 2024 CAS Annual Meeting for the fourth year in a row. The conference is taking place from November 3rd to November 6th in Phoenix, AZ.

Akur8 has been revolutionizing P&C insurance pricing with transparent AI since 2019. Our fully integrated, cloud-based platform enables insurers to price at unprecedented speed, positively impacting financial outcomes and improving risk assessments. Recently we have further expanded our product portfolio and customer base with the acquisition of the Arius reserving platform, amplifying the value delivered to non-life insurance carriers worldwide.

“In addition to being a CAS Executive Society Partner, Akur8 is thrilled to once again be a Platinum Sponsor of the 2024 CAS Annual Meeting. CAS provides professionals in the P&C insurance industry with ongoing opportunities for professional growth and maintenance of actuarial credits, in addition to encouraging discussions on important topics facing the industry today. We are honored to support the professional development of CAS members while also providing a forum for actuarial professionals to stay current on topics related to both pricing and reserving,” noted Samuel Falmagne, CEO of Akur8.

“We greatly appreciate Akur8’s ongoing partnership and commitment to the Casualty Actuarial Society. Their fourth year as the highest Society Partner is a testament to their support of our mission. We look forward to another successful Annual Meeting and to hearing the valuable perspectives of their actuarial experts,” remarked Joyce Warner, Chief Business Officer of the Casualty Actuarial Society.
