“ I foresee the analytics future to be bright
with opportunities increasing in many
areas. Data will become less valuable,
while analytical insights become more
valuable and predictive modeling
becomes the new de facto
standard.”
Jean-Paul Isson, Global VP
Predictive Analytics & BI,
Monster Worldwide
“ The ability to truly have an integrated
health record that is readily
accessible will lead to maximizing
health care outcomes.”
David Levine, Vice President Informatics/
Medical Director, University Health
System Consortium (UHC)
“ A data scientist needs to be able to learn and apply new
capabilities at a very fast clip to ensure the best big data solution
is brought to bear to enable critical decisions in the business.”
John Reynders, Chief Information Officer, Moderna Therapeutics
“ The big challenge is finding
the right people to support
the projects. With cloud
computing, technology has
become a commodity. And
data is everywhere. People,
on the other hand, are now
the critical path for the
success of any Big Data
project.”
Mario Faria, Chief Data Officer
& Big Data Technology Advisor,
Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
“ Without the human element as the
reference point, the data is just a large
dataset of numbers, with no real
meaning. It is the understanding
of why people do what they do
that helps make big data
meaningful.”
Joel Warady, Chief Sales &
Marketing Officer,
Enjoy Life Foods
“ The most important skill in the big data journey is the ability to
turn the Rubrics Cube of data in many directions to unlock the
information that only the most curious mind can uncover.

09.00 CHAIRPERSON’S OPENING REMARKS: Industry Overview – The
Burning Questions for the B2B Marketer
In the last 10 years there have been dramatic changes in the B2B marketing and sales
world. The situation facing the B2B marketers is that the tried-and-true traditional
methods B2B companies have used to market and sell are not as impactful and effective
as they have been historically. The direct consequence is the apparent attempt to shift
towards Data-Driven Marketing and Sales. The question confronting everyone is how
best to do it? The heart of Data-Driven Marketing and Sales revolves around data and the
database. The following five intense sessions are structured to sequentially lead you
through the steps necessary to effectively move your firm rapidly into deploying the
strategy and tactics of Data-Driven Marketing and Sales.
Five of the most significant shifts coupled with burning questions that will be answered are:
• The buyer is now in more control of the buy/sell equation and sellers are running hard
to catch up. What is now our new and best go-to-market strategy?
• Technology has invaded all aspects of marketing and sales, yet much of it is
underutilized and/or not even deployed. What technology should we choose and how
can we insure the marketing and sales people actually use it?
• There are many new sources of B2B data in the market, but what data and/or lists are
accurate, and can we trust and use them?
• Traditional outbound marketing must now be balanced with inbound and social
marketing, but what is the right mix and balance for our company?
• Executives are demanding productive improvements and true result measurements for
both marketing and sales. How do we achieve these improvements and more accurately
measure results?
John M. Coe
President
The Sales & Marketing Institute
B2B DATA-DRIVEN MARKETING AND SALES
Our Focus Day offers you an intimate setting where you will have an opportunity to discuss emerging trends in data driven marketing and sales. This is one of the biggest issues for marketing executives in
the B2B space. This day gives you all the strategies and tools you require to benefit from big data and analytics as B2C companies are successfully doing. It is an ideal way to find out the key practical
information and insights you need to know for success and staying relevant in a dynamic market. This will be a great opportunity to learn how to leverage the power of your biggest commodity, data.
09.30 Developing a Data Strategy and an Integrated Marketing and
Sales Database
This is the first and most critical step is in developing a data strategy customized to your
market and business model. B2B companies are so varied that no single approach will
work for all. This first session details the steps required to develop a customized and
integrated marketing and sales database, for to paraphrase Mark Twain, “If you don’t
know where you are going, you probably won’t get there.” This session gives you the
tools to create a road map and guide posts for the first step in the Data-Driven Marketing
and Sales journey.
• Determine and audit all of the internal data sources to check for both accuracy and
completeness
• Segment all the key markets to determine the data elements required to define the
segmentation criteria plus the data characteristics of the companies and contacts
• Determine all the outside data sources and lists that align with the segmented markets
and/or company criteria
• Debate and decide on what data is needed vs. wanted in the database, as trying to
gather too much data is a project and even a career killer
• Define the methods required to keep the database updated and accurate
• Evaluate the pros and cons of building the database internally or externally
• Agree on data governance rules and individual’s access and change authority

11.00 It’s All About Leads - How to Increase Qualified Leads By 300%
In B2B 80-90% of all marketing activities and budgets are devoted to demand generation
or in simpler terms – leads! Historically, this has been the primary interface with the sales
groups, and we all know that it has not gone well. So what can be done to not only
improve the lead process, but make sales people fans of marketing? Typically, when a lead
system needs improvement it’s one or more of the following steps and processes that
require improvement and better data. Each step will be fully explored as to how it can and
will improve the results. This session will demonstrate how you can increase lead to
conversion rates by at least 10-20%, to increase market share and grow revenue margins.
• First contact - how should it be treated and how much information (data) can be
requested from the individual who is inquiring?
• Lead qualification – aligning marketing and sales as to what constitutes a qualified lead
• Developing a lead nurturing process - keeping unqualified leads engaged until such
time they are qualified for sales hand-off
James Obermayer
Exec. Director
The Sales Lead Management Association
12.00 Networking Lunch Break
1.00 New Sales Coverage Models
From the beginning of time, sales staff has been solely responsible for converting leads
and building relationships and sales with current customers. Sales executives have
traditionally been seen as gatekeepers of customers, predominantly controlling and
limiting marketer to customer communication. Those days are over with most B2B
companies now being in the process of redesigning the sales coverage approach and
models. In doing so, the marketing and sales database is at the centre of this revolution.
This session will detail the best sales coverage models and data required to execute. Learn
how you can benefit from significant improvement in sales productivity and customer
relationships that even sales people will be enthusiastic about.
Key topics covered:
• The key issues facing sales people and their impact on revenue and margin
• The CRM story and why sales people do not use this software to full advantage, and
how to change that.
• Defining the customer contact tree and how to gather the contact names and other
data needed.
• The options to design an improved sales coverage model that will produce at least a
10% increase in sales at the same or lower cost.
• The steps necessary to insure data accuracy and completeness.

2.00 Best-Practices Analytics, Testing, and Measurement for B2B Marketers
Let’s face it…when it comes to data-driven marketing, most B2C companies have a big head-
start as opposed to B2B companies! In fact, many B2B companies are a decade or two behind
the most sophisticated B2C practitioners. But, the bad news does not end there…
Data-driven marketing is much more difficult in B2B than in B2C because it is tougher to clean,
organize and maintain B2B data. How do you counteract the highly-volatile contact information?
It is tougher to analyze B2B data. For example, should you track the individual, the location, or
the company? Or, all three? And, with sold-to/bill-to/ship-to contact information, who is the real
decision maker? It is tougher to test and measure B2B sales and marketing efforts. For example,
how do you counteract the small sample quantities and extreme variance in order sizes? This
session provides an easy-to-understand overview of effective tools, techniques and strategies.
Learn best practices in data-driven B2B marketing, including:
• Statistics-based predictive modelling for enhanced allocation of sales and marketing resources.
• Lifetime value analysis for more effective prospecting.
• Testing and measurement that is geared to multi-channel B2B environments.
• Insightful Key Indicators and Metrics (“KIMs” or “Dashboard”) reports.
• Thought-provoking case studies. For example, how to create a Field Sales Early
Warning/Intervention System from predictive models.

3.00 Afternoon Refreshment Break
3.30 B2B Big Data – The New Kid on The Block
Quite a bit has been written and talked about recently on the topic of Big Data. While there is
no question that Big Data is very useful in B2C, the jury is out as to how it applies to B2B.
Some B2B companies are sure to gain value from diving into the new world of unstructured
data and they are likely to be only large firms. At the end of this session, you will walk away
with an understanding of Big Data and whether or not it applies to your company.
Key Topics:
• What actually is Big Data as there are numerous definitions in the market
• How might it apply to your B2B firm
• If so, what are the latest technologies and methods to use
• What are the results from this analysis and how to integrate them into the marketing and
sales database

10.00 WORKSHOP A: Big Data and Analytics Crash Course
• Do you feel you need to get up to speed on the basics before you can fully embrace the
main sessions during the 2nd Annual Big Data Business Forum?
• Are in the early phases of your journey and want to ensure that you are headed in the
right direction for your business?
• Have you been disappointed with your organizations Big Data strategy so far and feel
like a change in direction or even a turnaround plan?
If any of the above applies to you, this intensive “back-to-basics” course in an absolute
must before you attend the main event.
Big Data goes beyond Volume, Velocity & Variety. It’s all about using a valuable and often
readily available resource to meet key business objectives. The big questions for those in
the early stages of a Big Data roll out or those wanting a turnaround strategy or a boost,
are the “what, how, when and where?”
The workshop agenda will focus on:
• What exactly is Big Data?
• Critical success factors for any Big Data and analytics implementation
• Defining the project scope – storage, mining, processing and reporting
• Recognizing the critical importance of the “customer”
• People and organization structures
• Systems/technology and applications
• Cost-benefit analysis/ROI
• Considering the role of benchmarking
For speaking opportunities, email enquiry@iqpc.com
12.00 Networking Lunch Break
1.00 WORKSHOP B: Building a Big Data Platform
IT executives often buy software from a vendor company because of its undeniable
convenience. Other companies, however, are tailoring their own solutions and building in-
house big data platforms and solutions.
The Walt Disney Company is one such example having crafted a large custom platform
out of Hadoop, NSQL databases and other open-source technologies. Some of the
benefits that Disney enjoys from this includes huge cost savings and flexibility.
• Selecting the right foundation for your platform
• Enlisting outside technical support partners
• Techniques for appealing user interfaces to encourage use
Jerome Boulon
Director, Big Data
Riot Games
3.00 WORKSHOP C: Developing The Ability and Capability for High-
Performance Data Processing
The most widely used frameworks for Big Data processing are MapReduce, developed by
Google, and its open source implementation from Yahoo, Hadoop. MapReduce is not
suitable for real-time computation and open-source real-time alternatives to Hadoop are
still immature. Other use models exist in which real-time information from highly dynamic
sources is required, hence the introduction of complex event-processing (CEP) systems that
operate not on static data but on continuous and streaming data. As data continues to
increase exponentially in volume and variety, performance speeds become extremely
strained resulting in longer waiting times for actionable data. This workshop will give you
high level and practical strategies on Big Data processing, focusing on the following areas:
• Hadoop vs. Complex event-processing (CEP) systems
• Going beyond simple batch processing – what else is out there?
• The convergence of big-data and low-latency processing

08.15 Big Data Big Brother & Your Brand
We’ve all read the recent reports about federal government using big data to monitor and
keep track of the public. This has brought the use of data analytics to the attention of the
public at large. Fear, distrust and speculation alike exist about what companies are really
doing with customer data. The use of data has been proven to have a direct correlation to
brand quality and revenue. So how do you dispel fear, build consumer trust and
confidence in such a discerning environment? Unpack these issues and give you the tools
you need to face the challenges.
08.45 KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Monetizing In-House Big Data Solutions
Companies like Sears Holdings are taking advantage of gaps within the big data analytics
market and now provide a managed-services model to other large-scale traditional
enterprises. End –user organizations that also want a slice of the billion dollar big data pie
are seeing the potential of generating new revenue streams by commercializing their in-
house solutions. It is not without risks however as with any business venture. Competing
against the most innovative and established solutions providers is not something that can
be taken lightly. Others argue that who better to create a solution for the business users
than business users themselves? But what will it take to break into this market?

09.15 The Data Driven Business Attributes
Big Data continues to be a major topic of discussion, catalyzing attention among the C-
Level executives and driving investments for enterprises. But there is one component that
can put halt any initiative: THE ANALYTICS MATURITY OF YOUR BUSINESS. How prepared
is your company to implement and use the available data, the high end modelling
techniques and the data & analytics experts? From what I have learned and experienced,
companies are still not adequately prepared and this will hurt the ability to compete in the
market. This presentation will help business line executives and data professionals to
understand the steps needed to create a data driven organization, by making the right
decisions, while providing some real life examples on companies which did it successfully
and some who failed miserably.

11.00 KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Aligning Business and IT on The Big Data
Journey
A big challenge to the success of Big Data is creating and alignment between the business
and IT stakeholders. Business-IT partnership is one of the most critical aspects to
successful Big Data implementation that is aligned with business objectives. Yet we
continue to see a disconnect between these two business functions. The business wants
real-time insights and data; IT seems to act only as a barrier and gatekeeper to data. This
presentation will give you the strategies you need to close this gap for good!

11.30 CASE STUDY: Leveraging Big Data and Analytics Using Multiple
Databases to Drive the Highest Quality of Healthcare Delivery
UHC has developed a Bundles of Care tool which combines patient hospital based claims
data from the Clinical Data Base (CDB) with physician claims data from the Faculty
Practice Solutions Center (FPSC) to look at delivery of care. The five focus areas include
knee replacement, hip replacement, aortic valve replacement, CABG, and kidney
transplant. This presentation will focus on how the tool was developed and the challenges
in integrating data from multiple databases. David Levine will share some of the
challenges of handling encounters not fully captured by the databases and the future
direction of leveraging Big data and analytics. Learn how Big Data and analytics leveraged
by UHC is aiding to identify areas that will have the greatest impact on reducing cost,
reducing unnecessary variation, improving quality for the continuum of healthcare
delivered partially by Academic Medical Centers to provide the best patient experience
and outcomes.

Staffing Big Data Teams – Core Competencies Required to Drive
a Successful Big Data Strategy
According to a report by McKinsey & Co., the U.S. could face a shortage by 2018 of
140,000 to 190,000 people with "deep analytical talent" and of 1.5 million people
capable of analyzing data in ways that enable business decisions. Companies are already
being faced by the challenge of this shortage in suitable analytics personnel. This session
discusses:
• Core competencies of analytics staff
• Strategies for building a Big Data team from within
• Outsourcing vs. Upskilling

1.00 Articulating The Value – Selling Big Data to Internal Stakeholders
Executives looking to procure technologies and back-end systems for Big Data and
Analytics are being asked to demonstrate the value- add and show the Return on
Investment (ROI). In spite of all the reported benefits, this is still a tough aspect to
measure. This session gives you the tools and strategies to better communicate the
immediate and long term return on investment on your culture, your processes and your
bottom line that come with a Big Data and Analytics investment.

1.30 Big Data in the Life Sciences – The Good, Bad, and the Ugly
Why do some investments in big data yield a treasure trove of incredible insights –
whereas other investments yield only a big bill?
Learn about the variety of big data challenges facing the life sciences industry across
dimensions of scale, diversity, complexity, and mining. In the pharmaceutical industry,
these challenges occur at all phases of the pipeline. Specific cases in discovery,
personalized medicine, and R&D search will be covered in the presentation. Examples of
effective deployment – and perhaps more importantly – big data pitfalls and traps will be
a fun part of the discussion! Finally, we’ll explore one of the most important elements for
success in any Big Data strategy: starting with the right question to drive your big data
solution and ensure delivery of value and insight. What is New: Going beyond examples
of scale – the larger challenges of data diversity and complexity will also be covered and
brought to life with real-world examples. Success factors – and failure modes – that will
make or break your big data investment will be covered.

Advances in Predictive Analytics
The ability to make sense of data, to translate emerging information into new
knowledge, policies, decisions, and ultimately, economic success, is foundational to US
science and energy missions as well as any area of business. While technological
advances have led to an exponential growth in the volume, rate, and heterogeneity of
the data available, we must match these advances with attention to the underlying
computing challenges in timely knowledge discovery. Our focus is hereby evermore
directed towards new solutions for the continuous synthesis of knowledge (always on
analysis), the generation of candidate explanations for emerging phenomena in our large
streaming data volumes (analysis in motion) and in distributed environments (analytics at
the edge). This talk will present a number of new approaches developed for the most
demanding data challenges in the science and national security domains that could have
equal applicability in the business world.

Exploring Data Privacy and Compliance Requirements
Big Data offers a vast amount of benefits, but this practice is not without its fair share of
risks. Some companies have discovered the hard way that if they are not careful, it is
possible to expose private information through big data analysis. Companies need to
balance the need to analyze results with best practices for security and governance. This
session will give essential strategies for ensuring data privacy & security and will also
highlight key regulations that will impact you.
• Ensuring compliance to data security requirements – matching internal policy and
requirements with external service providers’ measures
• Developing a security breach notification strategy for quick reaction to security
incidents

Quality Management - Ensuring Validity of Data
High validity is an important component of Big Data. The accuracy of insights is dependent
on the quality of the data undergoing analysis.
The greatest impact of Big Data is on data quality. While data quality has traditionally been
measured in relation to its intended use, for Big Data projects, data quality may have to be
assessed beyond its intended use and address how data can be repurposed. To do so, data
quality attributes must be clearly defined, measured, recorded, and made available to end
users. Hear how leaders in this space are doing it right!

2.00 Know Your Audience and the Story You Want to Tell: Making the
Most of Your Big Data Initiatives
Conventional wisdom says that in order to make informed decisions within any functional area,
you need to track and amass the data associated with business performance. But this data is
meaningless unless it can be converted into the insight and communication that it's intended
audience needs, wants and expects. In this talk, we will outline how our customers are using
artificial intelligence to transform data into insightful stories that are indistinguishable from those
written by people. These automatically generated evidence-based reports are both insightful and
action-oriented, enabling any business person to quickly understand what's happening and
make informed decisions. This presentation will showcase how our customers can generate a
wide variety of content (long form reports, executive summaries, customer communications, or
even tweets) from any data repository - on demand - that meet the goals and communication
needs of different stakeholders. And, do so without any involvement from IT and without
having to pour through and recalibrate a multitude of spreadsheets, graphs and charts.

Our panelists will highlight key factors you need to consider to make the most beneficial
choice for your organization.

The Real Risks of Hadoop - What the IT Department Needs to Consider
Around 80% of captured data is unstructured and must be formatted using a batch-
processing platforms such as Hadoop in order to be minable for business critical insights.
But how secure is this data? It is very difficult to build a security solution that can provide
data breach protection, regulatory compliance, yet still allow the powerful analysis and data
insight promised by Big Data environments. This presentation will guide you on the
actionable strategies for mitigating the risks.
• Exploring the use of cell level security as an cost saving solution
• How secure are your access controls?
• Combating data theft and data loss in a Big data Environment by implementing a Data
