Announcement and call for presentations
The 2008 Fall North American Stata Users Group meeting will be held November
13 and 14 at Handlery Union Square Hotel, located in downtown San
Francisco.
Stata Users Group meetings started in Britain in 1995 and have been
spreading to more and more countries, including Italy, Sweden, Germany, the
Netherlands, Spain, Australia, Poland, and the United States. Talks are
intended for a general audience with mixed levels of expertise in Stata and
statistics.
The invited speakers are Christopher Baum (Department of Economics, Boston
College), Colin Cameron (Department of Economics, UC–Davis), John
Neuhaus
(Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, UC–San Francisco), and Joe
Schafer (Department of Statistics, Penn State).
Stata developers will also attend the meeting, both to present
and to take notes during the popular “wishes and grumbles”
session. We hope you will consider joining us in November, as a presenter or
an attendee.
Submission information
We encourage submissions on any topic highlighting the use of Stata in
research, teaching, or any other field, such as the following topics:
- Using Stata for modeling and analysis
- User-written Stata programs
- Case studies of research or teaching using Stata
- Using Stata to import and manage data
- Teaching Stata

Please submit an abstract and contact information (your name, affiliation, postal
address, email address, and fax and phone numbers) online at

review abstracts. Conference fees will be waived for presenters.
Presenters will be asked to provide materials related to their talk (slides
