PAWGOV - September 18-19, 2013

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) July 18, 2013

Where do the Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the Inspector General of the USPS, IRS and Treasury officials, the Army, the Navy and the Chief Actuary of VA find common ground? At Predictive Analytics World for Government (PAW-GOV), September 18-19, 2013 in Washington, DC.

The agenda and speakers for this industry leading– and only – vendor-neutral analytics conference for government have been confirmed. Last year, 500+ attendees came together for this established networking event, a figure that looks to be increased in 2013.

Unlike general conferences, PAWGOV is specifically designed to help government leaders, analysts and program managers understand how they can apply predictive analytics more efficiently and effectively. On the agenda are hot button topics such as fraud detection using predictive analytics, extracting intelligence from big data, staff forecasting, text analytics and mining unstructured data, open data and data transparency legislation (DATA Act), DOD’s “Data to Decisions” big data initiative, SEC’s use of analytics to detect fraud and insider trading, building an analytics capability in the Federal government, how to overcome obstacles to analytics and how to get ROI from data analytics.

Leading the charge are PAWGOV’s two keynote speakers:

•     Congressman Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, with a topic soon to be announced.
•     David Williams, Inspector General of the U.S. Postal Service, who will discuss the ability to draw intelligence from big data and solutions driven by data analytics.

Joining Issa and Williams are analytics experts from business, non-profits and multiple branches of federal and state government. Speakers include:    

•     David Aebischer, Branch Chief of the U.S. Army CECOM Training Support Division (TSD), Power, Analysis, Communications, and Training (PACT)
•     Lijia Guo, Chief Actuary of the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs
•     Chris Sailer, Senior Manager of Risk Management & Analysis at The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
•     David Saltiel, Director of Analytics at the U.S. Treasury
•     Dean Silverman, Senior Advisor to the Commissioner and Director at the Office of Compliance Analytics, IRS
•     Steven Surell, Enterprise Information Management Lead, Commander for Naval Installations Command (CNIC), U.S. Navy
•     Dr. Harvey Westbrook, Assistant Director at the Office of Quantitative Research, Securities and Exchange Commission

PAWGOV 2013 is being held in the Atrium Ballroom of the Ronald Reagan Building on 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, conveniently located near a number of city hotels and easily accessible by public transportation.
