July 10: Geospatial Data & Home Insurance Territories (With R)

This month we have Kevin McBeth giving a talk about geospatial data and home insurance.

After the talk we will give away both an in-person and a virtual ticket to The Data Science and AI Conference (the spiritual successor of the NY R Conference) taking place August 25-27. Members of this meetup can get a 20% discount on tickets with code nyhackr.

Thank you to NYU for hosting us.

Everybody attending must RSVP through the registration form at nyhackr. There is a charge for in-person and virtual tickets are free.

Space is extremely limited and in-person registration closes at 3 PM the day of the talk.

About the Talk: It should be no surprise that the location of a home is an important variable in calculating the premium necessary to insure that home. This talk will touch on the recent history of home insurance territories, data sources used in territory models, and a comparison of territories used by several home insurance carriers in R.

About Kevin: Kevin McBeth is a credentialed Actuary at Arch Insurance, where he leads a team focused on cloud-native production API development for insurance premium calculations. Prior to Arch, he held a variety of actuarial, developer, and sales roles at both insurance companies and software companies, including Travelers Insurance, Crum & Forster, Solera, and Coherent.

The venue doors open at 6:30 PM America/New_York where we will continue enjoying pizza together (we encourage the virtual audience to have pizza as well). The talk, and livestream, begins at 7:00 PM America/New_York.
