Hi everyone,
I wanted to make sure you know about the next Predictive Analytics
World conference, Oct. 20-21 in Washington DC (www.pawcon.com).
-----------------------------
Predictive Analytics World is the business-focused event for
predictive analytics professionals, managers and commercial
practitioners, covering today's commercial deployment of predictive
analytics, across industries and across software vendors. The
conference delivers case studies, expertise and resources to achieve
two objectives:
1) Bigger wins: Strengthen the business impact delivered by predictive
analytics
2) Broader capabilities: Establish new opportunities with predictive
analytics
PAW's October 2009 program is packed with the top predictive analytics
experts, practitioners, authors and business thought leaders,
including keynote speakers Stephen Baker (author of The Numerati and
Senior writer at BusinessWeek), Usama Fayyad, Ph.D. (CEO, Open
Insights and formerly Yahoo!'s Chief Data Officer and Executive Vice
President), and Program Chair Eric Siegel, Ph.D. (President of
Prediction Impact and former Columbia University professor).
Case Studies: How the Leading Enterprises Do It
Predictive Analytics World focuses on concrete examples of deployed
predictive analytics. Hear from the horse's mouth precisely how
Fortune 500 analytics competitors and other top practitioners deploy
predictive modeling, and what kind of business impact it delivers.
And the leading enterprises have responded, signing up to tell their
stories. PAW-09 will have 25 sessions across two tracks, so you can
witness how predictive analytics is applied at Aflac, Amway, Citizens
Bank, The Coca-Cola Company, Financial Times, Hewlett-Packard,
Infinity Insurance, IRS, Lifeline Screening, National Center for
Dropout Prevention, The National Rifle Association, The New York
Times, Optus (Australian telecom), PREMIER Bankcard, Reed Elsevier,
Sprint-Nextel, Sunrise Communications (Switzerland), Target, US Bank,
U.S. Department of Defense, Walden University, Zurich -- plus special
examples from Anheuser-Busch, Disney, HSBC, Pfizer, Social Security
Administration, WestWind Foundation and others.

Cross-Industry Applications
Predictive Analytics World is the only conference of its kind,
delivering vendor-neutral sessions across verticals such as banking,
financial services, e-commerce, education, government, healthcare,
high technology, insurance, non-profits, publishing, retail and
telecommunications.
And PAW covers the gamut of commercial applications of predictive
analytics, including response modeling, customer retention with churn
modeling, product recommendations, fraud detection, online marketing
optimization, behavior-based advertising, insurance pricing, sales
forecasting, text mining and credit scoring.
Why bring together such a wide range of endeavors? No matter how you
use predictive analytics, the story is the same: Predictively scoring
customers optimizes business performance. Predictive analytics
initiatives across industries leverage the same core predictive
modeling technology, share similar project overhead and data
requirements, and face common process challenges and analytical
hurdles.
Rave Reviews
February's inaugural Predictive Analytics World was an acclaimed
success, with over 200 attendees from 12 countries witnessing case
studies from over 20 named companies that represent 11 industries.
Excitement and buzz ran high as participants learned how to improve
efficiency and optimize across more than 10 business applications of
predictive analytics.
"Predictive Analytics World was probably the best analytics conference
I have attended, from a knowledge point of view, in a long time...
[and] turned into my new must-go-to conference."
Dennis R. Mortensen
Director of Data Insights
