The London Stata Users Group meeting is celebrating its 10th anniversary in
2004. We are marking the event by making the presentations even more useful
to those who attend. We will be including in this meeting survey lectures from Stata
users of international repute and from senior members of StataCorp — the
developers of Stata — aimed at addressing fields where Stata is particularly
useful.
In the previous nine years, we have established a tradition of excellent
presentations by users, and we have fostered contacts among researchers
who use Stata, expert users who extend and further develop Stata, and
developers at StataCorp.
Stata users' meetings began in London, and more have been held here
than in the rest of the world combined. (Other users' meetings have been held
in Berlin, Boston, Córdoba, Dublin, Maastricht, Madrid, and Utrecht.)
Part of the reason for our success is the openness of the meetings. All are
welcome to attend and participate. You are invited whether or not you have
attended previously and wherever you reside. In past years, we have had
attendees not only from Britain, Ireland, and other European countries, but
also from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere.
