Event Notice General Insurance Seminar Insuring Tomorrow 17-18 November 2014 • Hilton Sydney

Join Facilitator Michael Pascoe for the General Insurance Seminar

The Seminar has built up a reputation for showcasing leading edge thinking in the general insurance industry. With the global economic landscape changing and a data and social media revolution underway, this year’s Seminar focuses on how the actuarial profession can help the general insurance industry insure tomorrow.

Michael Pascoe is one of ’s most respected and experienced finance and economics commentators with four decades in newspaper, broadcast and on-line journalism covering the full gamut of economic, business and finance issues.

Michael is seen on Channel 7’s Sunrise and news programs, is Contributing Editor for the Sydney Morning Herald and Age BusinessDay.com.au sites, is a weekly finance columnist for Yahoo7 and a popular conference speaker, bringing rare humour and plain language to the ‘dismal science’ of economics.

Michael was born and educated in Queensland, starting his career with The Courier-Mail before working in Hong Kong for three years on the South China Morning Post. He joined the Australian Financial Review in Sydney upon returning to Australia and then pioneered specialist finance journalism in commercial broadcasting - first with the Macquarie Radio network, then with Channel 9, Sky News and 7.

Michael has four sons, maintains a love of rugby union, a dislike of gardening and what he calls ‘an outlook of optimistic scepticism’.
