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 program is packed with the top predictive analytics experts, practitioners, authors and business thought leaders, including a keynote address from Google's Sugato Basu and special sessions from industry heavy-weights such as Andreas Weigend and John Elder.

Case Studies: How the Leading Enterprises Do It

Predictive Analytics World focuses on concrete examples of deployed predictive analytics. The leading enterprises have signed up to tell their stories, so 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 San Francisco 2011 program is the richest and most diverse yet, featuring over 40 sessions across two tracks - an "All Audiences" and an "Expert/Practitioner" track -- so you can witness how predictive analytics is applied at Bank of America, Bank of the West, Best Buy, CA State Automobile Association, Cerebellum Capital, Chessmetrics, Fidelity, Gaia Interactive, Google, Hewlett Packard, ICICI Bank (India), Monster.com, Orbitz, PayPal/eBay, Richmond, VA Police Dept, U. of Melbourne, Yahoo!, YMCA, and a major N. American telecom, plus insights from projects for Anheiser-Busch, the SSA, and Netflix.

PAW's agenda covers hot topics and advanced methods such as uplift modeling (net lift), ensemble models, social data (6 sessions on this), search marketing, crowdsourcing, blackbox trading, fraud detection, risk management, survey analysis, and other innovative applications that benefit organizations in new and creative ways.

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: 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.

About This Seminar
Business metrics do a great job summarizing the past. But if you want to predict how customers will respond in the future, there is one place to turn� - predictive analytics. By learning from your abundant historical data, predictive analytics provides the marketer something beyond standard business reports and sales forecasts: actionable predictions for each customer. These predictions encompass all channels, both online and off, foreseeing which customers will buy, click, respond, convert or cancel. If you predict it, you own it.

The customer predictions generated by predictive analytics deliver more relevant content to each customer, improving response rates, click rates, buying behavior, retention and overall profit. For online applications such as e-marketing and customer care recommendations, predictive analytics acts in real-time, dynamically selecting the ad, web content or cross-sell product each visitor is most likely to click on or respond to, according to that visitor's profile. This is AB selection, rather than just AB testing.

Predictive Analytics for Business, Marketing and Web is a concentrated training program that includes interactive breakout sessions and a brief hands-on exercise. In two days we cover:

• The techniques, tips and pointers you need in order to run a successful predictive analytics and data mining initiative
  
• How to strategically position and tactically deploy predictive analytics and data mining at your company
  
• How to bridge the prevalent gap between technical understanding and practical use
  
• How a predictive model works, how it's created and how much revenue it generates
  
• Several detailed case studies that demonstrate predictive analytics in action and make the concepts concrete
  
• Five Ways to Lower Costs with Predictive Analytics
