Save-the-date for the next PAW: Oct 19-22, 2009 in Washington DC

Predictive Analytics World (www.predictiveanalyticsworld.com) is the business-focused event for predictive analytics professionals, managers and practitioners. This conference covers today's commercial deployment of predictive analytics. It is the only conference of its kind, with sessions and content reaching across business applications, across industries, and across vendors of solutions and software.

This conference delivers case studies, expertise and resources to achieve two objectives:

1) Bigger wins: Strengthen the business impact of predictive analytics deployment

2) Broader capabilities: Establish new opportunities with predictive analytics

The inaugural Predictive Analytics World, February 18-19 2009, was an acclaimed success, with over 200 attendees from 13 countries witnessing case studies from over 20 named companies that represent 11 industries. Excitement and buzz ran high as participants learned how to improve efficiency and optimize across more than 10 business applications of predictive analytics.

"Predictive Analytics World was probably the best analytics conference I have attended, from a knowledge point of view, in a long time...[and] turned into my new must-go-to conference."

• Run by the producers of the eMetrics Marketing Optimization Summit (the leading web analytics conference), and the acclaimed predictive analytics training program, Predictive Analytics for Business, Marketing and Web.
