University of St. Gallen is perched on top of a hill overlooking the city. Yizhen and I floundered up the hill, wearily making our way through the cobbled paths early in the morning. Midway, I became lazy and took a bus (all transport within the city is free for those attending the conference). Hah.
That morning, chartered coaches brought us to Swiss Re (a re-insurance company) in Zurich. The seminars were more interesting and we had a variety of choices. Topics like how do reinsurers manage risk, measuring risks for natural catastrophes, obesity and risks were the highlight. (Again, topics I can identify with). Well, I particularly favoured the appetising spread of desserts. Oh man, we were really spoiled.
In the evening, we had a welcome dinner and were each given a "goodie bag". with a swiss-knife (sponsored by PWC), a signer water bottle, conference t-shirt and materials. Got our SPOT ME device too....
Ended off the night with drinks and karaoke at a club called Trisli.
