The London Stata Users Group meeting is celebrating its 10th
anniversary in 2004. We are marking the event by
including in this meeting survey lectures from Stata users of
international repute and from senior members of StataCorp - the
developers of Stata - aimed at addressing fields where Stata is
particularly useful.
Stata users' meetings began in London, and as many have been held
there as in the rest of the world combined. (Other users'
meetings have been held in Berlin, Boston, Córdoba, Dublin,
Maastricht, Madrid, and Utrecht. Yet others are scheduled
for Rotterdam and Adelaide.)
All are welcome to attend and participate. You are invited
wherever you reside. In past years, we have had attendees not
only from Britain, Ireland, and other European countries, but
also from the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere.
