Europe’s JMP 2021 Discovery Conference has gone virtual. With that we are excited to announce the first European Predictive Modeling Unsession, which will take place on March 8.
You are interested in predictive modeling and want to learn and/or share experiences, have questions about certain predictive modeling topics, or you simply want to discuss with other interested personas about that topic? You believe predictive modeling should be used more in your company, but you are not sure how to overcome common obstacles like resistance or fear of change? At least then you are a best fit to join the 8 March session.
Wait, join what? Let’s take a step back.
Unsession, hmm. If you are like me, I would have had no clue of what an Unsession is. So basically, Unsessions are like conference sessions—only better. All session topics are driven by participants. Virtual spaces and rooms feature specific topics where participants can learn, share, and collaborate creatively in smaller groups.
The last Unsession, in October, at Americas Discovery Summit, received great feedback, so we decided to do it again for Europe. Just more European.;)
What to expect?
We will have six breakout rooms so you will have at least three times the chance to choose the ones you like. The topics are:
- Analytics Culture - how to manifest and spread the usage of predictive modeling in an organization, and what is the value to the organization
- Gain Better Understanding - things to look out for when using predictive modeling to increase your understanding in science and engineering
- Functional Data Analysis
- Generalized Regression
- Structural Equation Models (and its potential in the industry)
- What Model When?
You see, there are different aspects of predictive modeling covered, some more from an organizational point of view, some more platform specific, some about the what, why and how. I believe this is a nice mixture allowing everyone to find a session you are especially interested in.
