Predictive Methods Conference (PMC2004) for the Mortgage Industry
Tueday May 19, 8:01 am ET
Fourth annual conference plans to deliver on its continued commitment to facilitate learning and sharing
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., May 19, 2004 - Veros Software and First American Real Estate Solutions (RES) will co-host the fourth annual Predictive Methods Conference June 28-30, at the Four Seasons Hotel and Resort in Newport Beach, Calif.

Automated Valuation Models (AVMs), fraud detection models and other automated analytical products have burst onto the mortgage scene in recent years and continue to be a popular topic for major and midsize corporations throughout the country. As the technology advances, the interest from the industry intensifies proportionately. Attendees and sponsors alike consider this to be the preeminent forum of its type focusing on the use of analytics to reduce risk and improve efficiency in lending.

This year's conference features decision-makers from the top national lenders who will share experiences and provide insight as to real-world approaches and applications of these automated processes and mortgage analytics. This year's speakers and moderators include such distinguished organizations as Wells Fargo, Freddie Mac, Standard and Poors, Washington Mutual, GMAC-RFC, Bank of America, Household Finance, JP Morgan Chase, ABN-AMRO, Goldman Sachs, and other leading companies. Attendees represent senior-level officers and management from these and other institutions such as Fannie Mae, Countrywide, Wachovia, Bank One, National City Mortgage, New Century Mortgage, Option One and many other major corporations.

The list of attendees is as impressive as the unique approach of the meeting. Unlike most conferences, the PMC2004 is dedicated to a mixture of high-intensity education in the form of panels, interactive discussions, networking opportunities and renowned speakers. Notably absent is the overuse of vendors as the primary source of thought leadership. Instead, the majority of speakers are business leaders from mortgage lending organizations who are experienced in the assessment and implementation of risk management analytics.

The program provides distinctive opportunities for a limited number of supporting sponsors carefully chosen to showcase important technologies, products and services that support the mortgage industry. This year's sponsors include: Appintell, FNC, Clear Capital, Lender-E-Source, 1 Source Data, Trinity Inspection Services, PCi Corporation, The Turning Point, and ACI.
