On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite everyone
to participate in the Stata Conference 2012, to be held July 26-27th
in San Diego.

The meeting will be held in the Manchester Grand Hyatt. Situated on
the San Diego Harbor waterfront, the Manchester Grand Hyatt is located
adjacent to Seaport Village and is within walking distance of the
Gaslamp Quarter.  Additionally, the world famous San Diego Zoo and
SeaWorld are short drives from the hotel.

Below is the call for presentations. This year's organizing committee
consists of A. Colin Cameron, Xiao Chen, Estie Hudes, Michael
Mitchell, and myself. Please contact one of us if you would like to
discuss an idea for a presentation or have questions about the program
format.  For those of you who have not attended a Stata users group
meeting before, giving a presentation is a great opportunity to share
what you are doing in Stata with others, and to get feedback from
interested (and knowledgeable) users and from StataCorp developers.
And, as an added bonus, if your abstract is accepted for presentation,
the conference registration fee will be waived (presenting author
only).

We look forward to seeing everyone in San Diego.

Announcement and call for presentations
---------------------------------------

The 2012 Stata Conference will be held in San Diego, California on
July 26-27, 2012.

The Stata Conference is enjoyable and rewarding for Stata users at all
levels and from all disciplines. This year’s program will include
presentations by users, invited
speakers, and StataCorp developers. In addition, the program will
include the ever-popular “Wishes and grumbles” session in which users
have an opportunity to share their comments and suggestions directly
with developers from StataCorp.

All users are encouraged to submit abstracts for possible
presentations. Presentations on any Stata-related topic will be
considered, including (but not limited to) the following:

* new user-written commands, including commands for modeling and estimation,
 graphical analysis, data management, or reporting
* use or evaluation of existing Stata commands
* methods for teaching statistics with Stata or teaching the use of Stata
* case studies of Stata use in novel areas or applications
* surveys or critiques of Stata facilities in specific fields
* comparisons of Stata with other software or use of Stata together
with other software

User presentations should be either 15 or 25 minutes long, and should
be followed by 5 minutes for questions. Longer presentations will be
considered at the discretion of the
scientific committee.

Submission guidelines
---------------------

Please submit an abstract of no more than 200 words (ASCII text, no
math symbols) using the web submission form at
http://repec.org/san/san12.php. All abstracts must be received by
February 20, 2012. Please include a short, informative title and
indicate whether you wish to be considered for a short (15-minute) or
long (25-minute) presentation. In
addition, if your presentation has multiple authors, please identify
the presenter; the conference registration fee will be waived for the
presenter.

Presenters will be asked to provide the organizers with electronic
materials (a copy of the presentation and any programs or datasets,
where applicable) so that the materials
can be posted on the StataCorp website and in the Stata Users Group
RePEc archive.
