Going Virtual: COVID-19 Update 13 April 2020 - 2020 Stata Conference Philadelphia Call for Presentations

[Bill Rising (StataCorp)]

Because the concern and well-being of our Stata community is of the utmost importance to us, and given the uncertainty around COVID-19, we have made the decision to hold the Stata Conference virtually.

This will allow us to start planning to ensure the best experience for all attendees. We will have more to follow as details are finalized.

For now, we wish you and your families all the best during this turbulent time. We appreciate your support, and please feel free to contact us directly if you have questions.

Does your research rely on Stata? Do you have insights that would enlighten colleagues in your field? Join us at the 2020 Stata Conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 30-31 July 2020 for two days of education, networking, and Stata exploration.

All Stata users are encouraged to submit abstracts for possible presentation (oral or poster). Abstracts for oral or poster presentations are due by 23 March 2020. The full announcement with submission guidelines is available at https://www.stata.com/meeting/philadelphia20.

We look forward to seeing you in Philadelphia!

StataCorp did a great job with the conference. Things went very smoothly, and they even managed to provide some live entertainment. It would have been more fun to be there in person, but this was an excellent alternative given the circumstances. Bill Rising (StataCorp) and all the other people at StataCorp, thanks for pulling this off.
