1. Predictive Analytics World
for Industry 4.0
Where AI meets IoT: 12-13 June 2018, Munich

2. Executive
Summary
The Predictive Analytics World is the leading vendor
independent conference for applied predictive analytics
around industry 4.0. Business users, decision makers and
experts in predictive analytics will meet from 12th until 13th of
June 2018 in Munich to discover and discuss the latest trends
and technologies in machine & deep learning for the era of
Internet of Things and artificial intelligence.

3. Where AI meets IOT
Data and analytics are the two sides of the same coin. Without analytics data is worthless.
Without data analytics is useless. The same goes for IoT and AI. Without artificial intelligence the
gigantic amounts of sensor data produced by the Internet of Things devices will be worthless
because humans won’t be able to analyze it. Without the Internet of Things the artificial
intelligences will be useless because they would lack of training data for the machine learning
algorithms and the predictions and recommendations generated by the algorithms wouldn’t reach
the devices. To realize the vision of smart devices, smart factories or even smart cities, we need
smart algorithms that solve the challenges specific to industry 4.0 analytics, e.g.: enabling real-
time processing, combining edge and cloud computing, dealing with uncertainty and connectivity
issues, securing the data collection and transmission, and many more. Also, we need smart data
scientists who combine analytical expertise with industry domain knowledge. For this reason, we
invite you to participate as a speaker or visitor to the Predictive Analytics World Industry
conference and share your experiences, challenges and achievements with other participants.

12. Tips for a successful abstract
 Grab the visitor’s attention – with a short and concise title.
 Like a good appetizer the abstract should leave you wanting more: it
should motivate the visitor to take part in your presentation.
 Be concrete: Identify the problem, describe the solution and quantify
the benefits.
 Make a promise: tell the visitor what he can take away from your
presentation for his work.
 Examples from PAW16:

13. Tips for a successful
presentation
 Not a sales show. Convince through your project, your
personality and your expertise.
 Be open, honest and concrete: How did you solve the
problem? What did not work? How great is the benefit
in numbers? How did you validate the forecasts?
 Simply begin at a level which is comprehensible for
everyone and increasingly enter into detail for the
experts.
 Make space and take the time for substantive issues
and technical discussions.
