PAW is Sept 30 – Oct 4 — is it really five days long?
PAW’s core conference program provides two days of widely diverse sessions on October 1–2. The other days include 7 pre- and post-conference full-day workshops — click here for details.


With PAW’s robust agenda, how do I choose which sessions to attend?
There are a lot of aspects to guide which session to attend: the industry sector, level (expert practitioner or all-audiences), brand name leading company, business application (churn modeling, fraud detection, marketing applications, financial applications, etc.), core analytical method, and data source (social data, textual data, etc.) Industry sector or vertical is only one of many aspects to consider. Many delegates bring along colleagues to divide and conquer — an especially common technique across leading analytics groups. There’s a discount for registering as a group, learn more.


Who goes to PAW?
It’s a healthy mix of expert practitioners and business leaders. Click here for the detailed breakdown of attendees.


How is predictive analytics different from forecasting?
Predictive analytics is something else entirely, going beyond standard forecasting by producing a predictive score for each customer or other organizational element. In contrast, forecasting provides overall aggregate estimates, such as the total number of purchases next quarter. For example, forecasting might estimate the total number of ice cream cones to be purchased in a certain region, while predictive analytics tells you which individual customers are likely to buy an ice cream cone.


I’m completely new to predictive analytics – where can I learn more?
