| Dear moderator,

You sent the query to the list and all its subscribers.  That may be due to
the fact that I ignore email to r-$list-owner as there are so many spam
bounces to make the -owner handle practically useless.

My 'real' email address is however listed on the info page for all the lists
I look after, including r-sig-finance.

I guess this is rather moot as you seem to have sent to the list _before_ you
sent this query to me:

23:23 is 22 minutes before this email from 23:54 I am replying to now.

We do have working policy here of "lots of signal, little noise" and I have
inform you that at least to my eyes, this adds only to the noise and not to
the signal so I'd prefer it if you did not repost the next time around.

Readers disagreeing with are kindly requested to make themselved heard,
preferably in an __off-list__ email to me; feel free to CC Elise.

Dirk, with his listmaster hat on

| *EVENT POSTING DESCRIPTION*
| 
| *Subject:*  Announcing: Predictive Analytics World, Oct. 20-21 in Washington
| DC
| 
| *Text:*
| 
| Predictive Analytics World 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.  The conference delivers case studies, expertise
| and resources to achieve two objectives:
| 
| 1) Bigger wins: Strengthen the business impact delivered by predictive
| analytics
| 
| 2) Broader capabilities: Establish new opportunities with predictive
| analytics
| 
| PAW's October 2009 program is packed with the top predictive analytics
| experts, practitioners, authors and business thought leaders, including
| keynote speakers Stephen Baker (author of The Numerati and Senior writer at
| BusinessWeek), Usama Fayyad, Ph.D. (CEO, Open Insights and formerly Yahoo!'s
| Chief Data Officer and Executive Vice President), and Program Chair Eric
| Siegel, Ph.D. (President of Prediction Impact and former Columbia University
| professor).
| 
| 
| *Case Studies: How the Leading Enterprises Do It*
| 
| Predictive Analytics World focuses on concrete examples of deployed
| predictive analytics. 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.
| 
| And the leading enterprises have responded, signing up to tell their
| stories. PAW-09 will have 25 sessions across two tracks, so you can witness
| how predictive analytics is applied at Aflac, Amway, Citizens Bank, The
| Coca-Cola Company, Financial Times, Hewlett-Packard, Infinity Insurance,
| IRS, Lifeline Screening, National Center for Dropout Prevention, The
| National Rifle Association, The New York Times, Optus (Australian telecom),
| PREMIER Bankcard, Reed Elsevier, Sprint-Nextel, Sunrise Communications
| (Switzerland), Target, US Bank, U.S. Department of Defense, Walden
| University, Zurich -- plus special examples from Anheuser-Busch, Disney,
| HSBC, Pfizer, Social Security Administration, WestWind Foundation and
| others.
| 
| 
| *Workshops*
| 
| Three pre- and post-event workshops 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.
| www.predictiveanalyticsworld.com/dc/2009/predictive_modeling_methods.php
| 
| "Hands-On Predictive Analytics"
| Instructor: Dean Abbott, President, Abbott Analytics
| www.predictiveanalyticsworld.com/dc/2009/handson_predictive_analytics.php
| 
| "Putting Predictive Analytics to Work"
| Instructor: James Taylor, CEO, Decision Management Solutions
| www.predictiveanalyticsworld.com/dc/2009/predictive_analytics_work.php
| 
| *
| 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, 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,
| behavior-based advertising, insurance pricing, sales forecasting, text
| mining and credit scoring.
| 
| Why bring together such a wide range of endeavors? No matter how you use
| predictive analytics, the story is the same: Predictively 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.
| 
| 
| *Rave Reviews*
| 
| February's inaugural Predictive Analytics World was an acclaimed success,
| with over 200 attendees from 12 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."
| 
| Dennis R. Mortensen
| Director of Data Insights
