Announcement and call for presentations
The first West Coast (of the United States) Stata Users Group meeting will
be held October 25 and 26, 2007, at
Marina del Rey Hotel, located
10 minutes from Los Angeles International Airport at water’s edge.
Stata Users Group meetings started in Britain in 1995 and have spread to
Italy, Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Australia, and the East
Coast. Talks are intended to be accessible to a general audience with mixed
levels of expertise in Stata and statistics. Stata developers will also
attend, both to present new Stata features and to take notes during the
popular “Wishes and grumbles” session. We hope you will consider
joining the meeting as a presenter or an attendee.
