Toronto, Ontario – Predictive Analytics World, the business-focused event for predictive analytics professionals, managers and commercial practitioners, today announced the speaker line-up for the April 25-26, 2012 Toronto Conference (www.predictiveanalyticsworld.com/toronto/2012).

Predictive Analytics World (predictiveanalyticsworld.com.com) is the business-focused event for predictive analytics professionals, managers and commercial practitioners, covering today's commercial deployment of predictive analytics, across industries and across software vendors.

PAW Toronto promises to once again break records as the biggest cross-vendor predictive analytics event ever. PAW's program is packed with the top predictive analytics experts, practitioners, authors and business thought leaders, including keynote addresses from Edward Nazarko, Client Technical Advisor, IBM and PAW Program Chair Eric Siegel, plus special session from industry heavy-weight John Elder, CEO & Founder, Elder Research, Inc.

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.

HOT TOPICS AND ADVANCED METHODS: PAW SF’s agenda covers ensemble models, financial services, fraud detection, healthcare analytics, human resources analytics, insurance, social data, software development cost estimation, text analytics and uplift modeling, including other innovative applications that benefit organizations in new and creative ways.

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

Join PAW and access the premier keynotes, sessions, workshops, exposition, expert panel, live demos during "Lab session," networking coffee breaks, reception, birds-of-a-feather lunches, brand-name enterprise leaders, and industry heavyweights in the business.

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.
