Hi everyone:

Predictive Analytics World, June 25-26, 2012 in Chicago (http://
www.pawcon.com/chicago/2012) is the business 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:

PAW Chicago’s program is packed with the top predictive analytics
experts, practitioners, authors and business thought leaders,
including keynote addresses from: Bruno Aziza, Director, Worldwide

Eric Siegel, Ph.D. Special session from industry heavy-weight John
Elder, CEO & Founder, Elder Research, Inc.

Case Studies: How the Leading Enterprises Do It

Predictive Analytics World focuses on concrete examples of deployed
predictive analytics. You can 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.

PAW's Chicago 2012 program is one of the richest and most diverse yet,
featuring over 25 sessions across 2 tracks: 1) "All Audiences,” and
2) "Expert/Practitioner," -- so you can witness how predictive
analytics is applied by Adobe, AlphaGenius, Accenture, Allstate,
British Broadcasting Company, City of Chicago, eBay, Hewlett-Packard,
Mazda, Microsoft, MTV Networks, Nielson, Nokia Siemens Networks,
Paychex, Pfizer, Rebellion Research, Silicon Valley Bank, Telenor,
Topsy, Traveler’s Insurance, TTX (leading railway company), US Bank,
Western Union, A U.S. Special Forces, Wikipedia, a financial services
enterprise, and a top global retailer.

HOT TOPICS AND ADVANCED METHODS: PAW Chicago’s agenda covers advanced
predictive modeling methods, analytical traction, big data, blackbox
trading, cloud analytics, customer retention, crowdsourcing,
predictive analytics, data visualization, enterprise dynamics,
enterprise-wide decisioning, financial services, fraud detection,
healthcare analytics, HR analytics, insurance, market research, online
marketing, open question answering, public sector applications, real
estate market scoring, reliability modeling, risk management, segment

WORKSHOPS: PAW also features a diverse range of full-day pre- and post-

exposition, expert panel, live demos during "Lab session," networking
coffee breaks, reception, birds-of-a-feather lunches, brand-name
enterprise leaders, and industry heavyweights in the business.

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, social gaming,
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, human resource decision-making, law enforcement, sales
forecasting, and credit scoring.

Why bring together such a wide range of endeavors? No matter how you
use predictive analytics, the story is the same: Predicatively 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.
