AOA says that 83 people attended the biennial AOA Seminar that was held in Hong Kong on December 6 and 7, 2016, following the previous seminar in Tokyo, Japan in 2016. According to AOA, 29 organizations representing 11 countries attended. AOA also says it was pleased to welcome non-member mutual insurers and academics.
The theme of the seminar was “Impact of digital innovation on the strategies of our sector”. Through commentaries on the global and regional digital trends, case reports of advanced initiatives by AOA members, and many attractive panel sessions, the attendees were provided with the valuable opportunities to consider not only how to incorporate the evolution of digital technology into their business and utilize it but also the points they should be aware of when utilizing the digital technology.
In addition, as the first attempt, AOA held sessions for young attendees including the roundtable with the selected CEOs of ICMIF/AOA organizations separately from the main seminar. In total, 23 young attendees representing 10 organizations in 4 countries participated actively.
