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 covers the gamut of commercial applications of predictive analytics, including response modeling, customer retention with churn modeling, product recommendations, fraud detection, online marketing optimisation, behaviour-based advertising, insurance pricing, sales forecasting, text mining and credit scoring.

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.

The agenda covers hot topics and advanced methods such as social data, text mining, search marketing, risk management, survey analysis, consumer privacy, sales force optimisation and other innovative applications that benefit organisations in new and creative ways.

“Hands down, best applied analytics conference I have ever attended. Great exposure to cutting-edge predictive techniques and I was able to turn around and apply some of those learning’s to my work immediately. I've never been able to say that after any conference I've attended before!”  Jon Francis, Senior Statistician, T-Mobile”.
