* For which track would your presentation be a better fit: “Expert/practitioner” or “All levels”? Instead of choosing, you may indicate that either track would work for you, and/or indicate a degree of preference. You also may optionally include more specific audience requirements, or other related comments. Your response will determine the PAW Program Track for which your session is considered. Note “All levels” is not necessarily the dominant track; slightly more than half of PAW attendees are hands-on practitioners, many of whom look to the “Expert/practitioner” track for primary content.

How did you hear about Predictive Analytics World?

* Speaker bio – 150 word maximum. This should be your complete bio, in paragraph form, as it will appear in the conference program if your submission is accepted (see prior PAW speakers for examples).

<?php if ($_POST['bio'] != "") echo $_POST['bio']; ?>

Required

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND CO-PRESENTERS – Speaking experience, a sentence on the quantitative evaluation results and/or project ROI you will present,
and any other information, such as references (optional) or a second speaker. If you are proposing a co-presenter, provide name, affiliation, bio and email address. Note that co-presenters are only permitted if they will provide substantive content; co-presenters intended only for introductions, formalities or vendor information are not permitted. If your co-presenter has previously spoken at Predictive Analytics World, please include, “PREVIOUS PAW SPEAKER” (this phrase will not be included in her or his bio).

NOTE: If for some reason you do not receive an emailed submission confirmation within three hours after submission – a very rare or non-existent occurrence – please check your SPAM folder, re-submit your proposal with this form, and email chair@predictiveanalyticsworld.com; be certain to retain a copy of all your field entries above for your records.

Click the “Submit” button below only if
you agree to the following speaker requirements and restrictions:

• 
  Vendor-neutral content.
  
  Your presentation may contain no “sales pitches” or sales-oriented
  material. Although positive exposure is generally a natural
  side-effect of presenting at PAW, your session must focus entirely
  (with the exception of a brief, “non-salesy” mention of the software
  solution employed, if relevant) on substantive content that the
  audience can implement and benefit from without necessarily buying any
  particular product or professional service.

• 
  Completed work.
  
  The work about which you are proposing to speak must be completed,
  and any pertinent results attained, prior to submitting the speaker
  submission form.

• 
  Named case study.
  
  If your submission indicates you have authority to share
  the name of the organization or department that benefited from the
  deployment of predictive analytics, you must attain, prior to submitting the
  speaker submission form, such authorization, both for it to be named within
  your presentation materials, as well as within PAW’s event publicity
  materials and listings. If for any reason the organization subsequently
  revokes authorization to be named (i.e., “changes its mind”), the session
  will be cancelled from the PAW program.

• 
  Travel expenses.
  
  PAW does not have a budget to cover speaker travel expenses. Speakers
  are responsible for their own travel expenses. You certify that you
  have secured funds (or secured authorization for such funds, where
  applicable) to fully cover your travel expenses as needed in order to
  attend the event at which you are proposing to speak.

• 
  Speaker cancellation.
  
  You certify that you have the means and opportunity to attend and
  present at the PAW event at which you are proposing to speak, and that
  you have attained any pertinent authorization, such as that of your
  employer, prior to submitting the speaker submission form. If your
  submission to speak at PAW is accepted, cancellation subsequent to PAW
  speaker registration for any non-medical reason is against PAW policy
  and is considered an infraction against meeting your professional
  obligations. If your submission is accepted, PAW will rely on your
  participation and will turn away qualified speakers in favor of
  including your session. PAW begins publicizing your session
  immediately upon confirmation in order to attract attendees to the
  event. If medical conditions preclude your attendance at PAW, you agree to make best efforts to notify PAW as early as possible; in such a case,
  while assistance finding a replacement speaker is requested and
  appreciated, PAW must screen any prospective replacement speaker, and
  retains the right to find a replacement speaker on its own.

• 
  Agents and PR staff.
  
  If the person completing the speaker submission form is not the
  speaker (e.g., an agent, assistant, or PR staff), you must enter both
  your email address as well as the speaker’s, as indicated on the
  submission form. You certify that you are authorized as an agent to
  submit the speaker proposal form on her or his behalf, and that the
  speaker has been consulted regarding, and is willing to agree to, the
  provisions listed here; upon acceptance, the speaker her- or himself
  will be required to explicitly agree to these provisions via the PAW
  Speaker Agreement.

• 
  Co-presenters.
  
  If not included within your speaker submission, co-presenters may only
  participate at PAW after attaining prior permission from PAW, and
  after they have undertaken PAW speaker registration.

• 
  Client co-presenters.
  
  If you are an analytics services vendor or consultant co-presenting
  with a client, per PAW policy, the cancellation of your co-presenter
  will result in the cancellation of your overall session.

• 
  Session length.
  
  You agree to participate in a speaking slot ranging from 20 to 45
  minutes, at the discretion of PAW, as determined by its conference
  program constraints and requirements.

I have carefully read these speaker requirements and retrictions, and I agree to each provision listed above.
