Predictive Analytics World 2012
Metro Toronto Convention Center, Toronto, Canada
Predictive Analytics World, April 25-26, 2012 in Toronto 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:

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, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Crawford & Company, Galorath, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Pfizer, Topsy Labs, U.S. Federal Government 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.

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

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.
