PROS to Present at Grace Hopper Conference, World’s Largest Gathering of Women in Technology

Blaze, the PROS women’s network, to host invitation-only reception

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–PROS®
(NYSE: PRO), the revenue and profit realization company, today announced
its participation in the Grace Hopper Conference for Women in Computing.
The event, which will be held in Houston for the second consecutive
year, is scheduled for Oct. 19-21 at the city’s George R. Brown
Convention Center. The conference is the world’s largest gathering of
women technologists, with more than 15,000 expected to participate.

“PROS is a destination company for women in technology who are
passionate about making a material and measurable impact for customers
around the world,” said PROS President and CEO Andres
Reiner
. “It’s a great honor to have three members of BLAZE, the PROS
women’s network, representing the company as speakers at the Grace
Hopper Conference.”

“As a gold sponsor, we’ll have BLAZE members available to meet with
conference participants at our booth to hear firsthand about PROS, our
culture and their experiences of working for Houston’s largest publicly
traded cloud company,” said PROS Vice President, Strategic Consulting,
Tonya DeWeese. “Our reception also offers opportunities for guests to
speak with an expanded PROS team. We encourage participants interested
in learning more about the company to join us.”

Three BLAZE members will deliver presentations at the conference:

  • Setareh Mardan, Ph.D., a member of the company’s science team, will
    deliver a poster presentation titled “How to Identify Customers
    Likely to Churn
    ,” based on her research and PROS patent-pending
    technology. Her case study illuminates the challenges of a medical
    equipment distributor with hundreds of thousands of products and
    customers. Mardan will showcase how PROS predictive analytics combine
    churn analysis and customer buying patterns to identify the most
    valuable, at-risk customers. She will reveal the investment result
    that could save the company $3-$8 million if a conservative percentage
    of the flagged customers were saved from churning.
  • PROS Content Strategist Emily Zinsitz and co-presenter Samantha O’Dell
    of Salesforce.com will deliver six round-table presentations in the
    Student Opportunity Lab. They will share the fundamentals of their
    work as technical writers who manage at ground zero for product
    knowledge. The two will showcase the diverse skills and connections
    developed through this trade that can super-charge careers on the
    business or technical sides of the industry.
  • PROS Senior Software Engineer Karis Ng will join forces with Aon
    Hewitt’s Vanessa Hernandez and Melissa Koch, director of content and
    curriculum with the Anita Borg Institute. Together they will provide
    career-building guidance with local leaders and women technologists.

BLAZE will co-host an opening night reception with Sapient Global
Markets on Tuesday, Oct. 18, from 6:00 – 8:00 P.M. in downtown Houston
near the convention center. To participate, visit the website.
