Dr. Geert Verstraeten, Programme Chair,   Predictive Analytics World London on Top Reasons to Attend.

For those not yet convinced this two-day trip to London is worthwhile, here are Dr. Geert Verstraeten´s personal top three reasons to attend Predictive Analytics World London 2012 :

1. Vendor-neutral: focus on objective testimonials and interaction, yet in combination with limited, well-chosen sponsored sessions
2. Great workshops led by analytical veterans 
3. Personal access to world-class domain experts.

Dr. Geert Verstraeten Programme Chair, Predictive Analytics World London 2012

The hype around ‘Big Data’ today is amazing. When Harvard Business Review dedicates an issue - October 2012 - to the topic, it is undeniable that Big Data has gone mainstream. As Big Data does not create value on its own, Predictive Analytics follows smoothly in its slipstream as an enabler to turn big data into big value. Tom Davenport (professor at Harvard Business School and famous author) and DJ Patil (former Chief Scientist at LinkedIn) conclude in this month’s issue that ‘Data Scientist’ will be the Sexiest job of the century (repeating Google’s chief economist Hal Varian in 2009). The impact of Predictive Analytics on business, government policy and society is undoubtedly growing. This renewed attention certainly attracts new fans to the domain, and different communities have developed recently to offer platforms for discussion and interaction. One of these platforms is Predictive Analytics World, organizing conferences in the U.S., Canada and (since 2010) Europe. Predictive Analytics World London 2012 (November 27-28), will continue to feature outstanding success stories in the application of Predictive Analytics. Yet increasingly, the focus expands to wide-scale, multi-purpose development and deployment of Analytics. Additionally, with analytical teams at different companies maturing,  Predictive Analytics World London 2012 will dedicate time to discuss topics related to the role of the analyst within the organization, and the management of advanced analytics teams and competences. With this program, Predictive Analytics World London 2012 aims again to attract a unique crowd of analytics users and managers, in its yearly celebration of Predictive Analytics. Featured stories will cover how Predictive Analytics:   1. Concretely helps a wide range of companies improve marketing and sales performance;   2. Enables one of the largest English Rugby teams to prevent player injuries;   3. Enables the Welsh water company to prevent pollution events in the sewerage system;   4. Helps the Danish government to improve tax collection   5. Allows Medway Youth Trust to reduce youth unemployment, etc. Additionally, attendees will learn how to attract, develop and grow analytical talent, how to apply the right data mining tool to the right purpose, how to use methodologies from forecasting and predictive analytics to predict ‘Big’ time series data, etc.
