Fathom’s team returned to the cobbled streets of Zurich last September to join partners from Oasis and Swiss Re at their annual Insight Conference.
During the event, all three of Fathom’s attendees delivered presentations or participated in panel discussions, including:
11:15 Model Vendor Update – Harry Vardigans, Insurance Business Development Manager
13:50 Handling Complexity in Flood Models: A Close Look at Hazard and Exposure Data – Dr Oliver Wing, Chief Research Officer
This panel addressed key questions around:
- — Can models be used equally from portfolio accumulation analysis down to creating tariffs for single sites?
- — Can the impact of urbanisation and poor defenses be replicated on hazard analyses while receiving poor exposure information?
15.15 Model Validation: Are There Opportunities to Improve How This is Done and the Data That’s Used? – Dr Malcolm Haylock, Head of Catastrophe Modeling
Asking panellists:
— Were there opportunities to improve how this was done
— How the data that was used?
