WEBINAR – BLOCKCHAIN AND CRYPTOASSETS
Blockchain, Distributed Ledger Technology, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general keep appearing in the news. Whether it’s about ransomware, the dark web, money laundering or fraud, it tends to have only bad stories written about it. There’s also a lot of hype too as Bitcoin keeps going up in price, “DeFi” is the next big thing and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT’s) are the latest craze. The digital artist known as Beeple recently raised $69 Million from the auction of an NFT.
The technology is full of buzzwords which makes it difficult to appreciate that it does offer some radical alternatives to how businesses operate and could have a transformative effect – particularly in insurance.
The session is intended for those who wish to gain an understanding of blockchain core concepts, use cases and relevance to insurance. It is designed to be business, rather than technical, focused and no prior knowledge of Blockchain is required.

In this webinar we will provide some basic definitions and explanations about what AI actually is and how it works as well as providing examples of AI in use in both our [personal and business lives.
WEBINAR – BIG DATA AND THE IMPORTANCE OF SMALL DATA
We’ve heard the term “Big Data” but what does it actually mean ? What makes it “big” and is it more important than small data ? Spreadsheets can now handle up to 17 billion data items….but is that big data ? We will look at what the term “Big Data” means, the opportunities it provides and how it is being used in organisations to make better informed decisions. We will explore some of the risks it poses when used incorrectly and why data quality is important. We will also see how a single character typed in to a system incorrectly bankrupted a previously profitable business.
