Hi everyone:

Be sure to mark your calendars for Predictive Analytics World, April
25-26, 2012 in Toronto. More information is below.

Predictive Analytics World, April 25-26, 2012 in Toronto

Predictive Analytics World, April 25-26, 2012 in Toronto
(www.pawcon.com/toronto/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:

Bigger wins: Strengthen the business impact delivered by predictive
analytics
Broader capabilities: Establish new opportunities with predictive
analytics

PAW Toronto promises to once again break records as the biggest cross-
vendor predictive analytics event ever. PAW's program is packed with
the top predictive analytics experts, practitioners, authors and
business thought leaders, including keynote addresses from Edward
Nazarko, Client Technical Advisor, IBM and PAW Program Chair Eric
Siegel, plus 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 Toronto 2012 program is one of the richest and most diverse yet,
featuring over 25 sessions across 1 track: "All Audiences,” -- so
you can witness how predictive analytics is applied by Adobe, Alberta
Motor Association, BHP Billiton (Australian mining company), Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce, Capital One, Crawford & Company, Galorath,
IBM, Indian Customs Board, Pfizer, Topsy Labs, U.S. Federal
Government, Verizon Wireless, and true-to-life anecdotes based on
miscellaneous enterprise successes, plus insights from projects for
Anheuser-Busch, Disney, HSBC, Pfizer, U.S. Govt., and others.

HOT TOPICS AND ADVANCED METHODS: PAW Toronto’s agenda covers ensemble
models, crowdsourcing data mining, demand generation, financial
services, forecasting, fraud detection, healthcare analytics,
insurance, software development cost estimation, open question
answering, text analytics and uplift modeling, including other
innovative applications that benefit organizations in new and creative
ways.

WORKSHOPS: PAW also features several full-day pre- and post-conference
workshops that complement the core conference program.

Join PAW and access the premier keynotes, sessions, workshops,
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.
