Hi everyone,
Predictive Analytics World's program for Feb 18-19 in San Francisco (www.predictiveanalyticsworld.com) has grown a bit since my post several weeks ago, and is looking better than ever. The conference covers today's commercial deployment of predictive analytics, across industries and across software vendors. In a nutshell, PAW is a warehouse of case studies.
In breaking news, the Netflix Prize leader slated to speak at PAW has now won the Netflix Progress Prize (see www.predictiveanalyticsworld.com/agenda.php#advancedapproaches)
We have two predictive analytics workshops that serve as a third-day option on Feb 20 to complement the core conference program:
"The Best and the Worst of Predictive Analytics: Predictive Modeling Methods and Common Data Mining Mistakes"
Instructor: John F. Elder, Ph.D., CEO and Founder, Elder Research, Inc.

"Taking Action with Analytics: The Decision-Centric Enterprise - Putting Predictive Analytics to Work Improving Every Business Decision"
Instructor: James Taylor, Co-Founder, Smart (enough) Systems

And the list of case studies has expanded - we now have case studies from all of: 3M, Acxiom, Affiliated Computer Services, Charles Schwab, Click Forensics, Google, Linden Lab (Second Life), The National Rifle Association, Pinnacol Assurance, Reed Elsevier, San Diego Supercomputer Center, Sun, Telenor, Wells Fargo Credit Card Services, Wells Fargo Internet Services Group -- plus special examples from Anheuser-Busch, Disney, Hewlett-Packard, HSBC, IRS, Pfizer, Social Security Administration and WestWind Foundation.
