2009 UK Stata Users Group meeting

First announcement and call for presentations

The London meeting is the longest-running series of Stata user meetings. The meeting is open to all interested; in past years, participants were from Britain, Ireland, other European countries, the United States, and Australia. StataCorp will be represented.

Presentation topics might include

• discussion of user-written Stata programs,
• case studies of research or teaching using Stata,
• discussion of data-management problems,
• reviews of analytical issues, or
• surveys or critiques of Stata facilities in specific fields.

Please email the scientific organizers before May 31, 2009, if you are interested, indicating whether you wish to give

• a 20-minute talk (followed by a 10-minute discussion),
• a 10-minute talk (followed by a 5-minute discussion), or
• a longer review or tutorial (about an hour).

The meeting will include the usual “Wishes and grumbles” session, during which you may air your thoughts to Stata developers, and (at additional cost) the option of an informal meal at a London restaurant on Thursday evening.

The program will be announced in June 2009.

Registration

Timberlake Consultants generously sponsors registration fee waivers for presentations (only one fee waiver per presentation, regardless of number of authors involved). They will also pay a small fee to a presenter of a longer review or tutorial paper. Click here to register.

The scientific organizers look forward to hearing from you with presentation offers or to discuss the suitability of a potential contribution. Confirmation of the program, cost, and venue, and details of how to register, will be circulated in June 2009.

By British standards, London is usually relatively dry and warm in September.
