1. Data Driven Marketing…360 Portrait of the Customer Presentations in this track focus on the processes and methodology required to reveal the often hidden customer/consumer behaviors that lead to better understanding and more accurate trend predictions. Sessions will discuss where customer data types originate from and reside; how to gain insights from this often unstructured data; and usage in customer campaigns. Points of discussion could also include data mining and discovery analytics for digital, social and all channels and touch points, the role of n-pathing and marketing attribution. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of the role of operational business intelligence including segmentation and trended reporting.
2. Data Driven Marketing…Integrated Marketing ManagementThis track will address the challenges in Omni channel marketing. Many B2C organizations use multiple channels and touch points to communicate to their consumers – and consumers now expect it. Make that demand it. However, this data must be modeled and integrated to provide accurate perspective and understanding. This is no simple task when operating in both online and physical channels. Sessions will explore how companies execute Omni channel marketing and sales programs inbound, outbound using all channels and illustrate successful strategies, including before and after use cases.
3. Cyber Security…Leveraging Data to Improve SecurityTop of mind in organizations around the world, these presentations will identify the types of threats and attacks against complex networks, as well as their frequency, severity and, costs. Organizations must find a way to quickly and efficiently isolate network threats – and that means big data, pattern detection, and rule-based alerts. Sessions will discuss how to evolve organizational strategies and solutions to match the evolution of threats and advisories, including efficiently collecting, managing, and sorting enormous volumes of network activity data in real time.
4. Profitability Analytics…Finding the Edge in Commodity BusinessesThe bottom line is getting squeezed in every direction – presentations here will use examples to help attendees understand how to price to win business and be profitable. Industries most affected are those with high fixed cost operating networks in a commodity business, compounded for many companies by the softness of the economy. Attendees will learn what is required to make profitability
analytics possible and to enable activity-based costing insight to management. When equipped with this level of detail, management can make intentional business decisions that benefit all stakeholders.
