2009 Canadian Stata Users Group meeting in Toronto
Program announcementThe first Canadian Stata Users Group meeting will be held Thursday, October 22, 2009, at the Pantages Hotel in downtown Toronto. Stata Users Group meetings are enjoyable and rewarding for Stata users at all levels and from all disciplines. As in other Stata Users Group meetings, the program will consist primarily of user presentations together with the ever-popular “Wishes and grumbles” session in which users have an opportunity to share their comments and suggestions directly with developers from StataCorp. Lee Sieswerda (Thunder Bay District Health Unit) is the invited speaker. StataCorp will be represented by Jeff Pitblado, Associate Director of Statistical Software and primary architect of Stata’s survey data capabilities. In addition to a presentation on survey statistics, Jeff will be giving a report to users. Toronto is one of Canada’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan centers. Its diverse cultural communities, stunning views, and outstanding shopping and dining opportunities add to its charm. Toronto has an active sports life, including the Toronto Raptors (NBA), Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL), Toronto Blue Jays (MLB), and Toronto Argonauts (CFL, football). Toronto also has one of the larger zoos in North America and is home to one of Canada’s largest amusement parks, Canada’s Wonderland. Toronto is also within easy driving distance to the magnificent Niagara Falls and Ontario Wine Country.Program
