    Further information

    The London conference is the longest-running series of Stata conferences. It is open to all interested and highly international. In past years participants
    have been from Britain, other European countries, and other continents too. StataCorp will be represented.

    Presentation topics might include:

    - discussion of user-written Stata programs

    - case studies of research or teaching using Stata

    - discussions of data management problems

    - reviews of analytical issues

    - surveys or critiques of Stata facilities in specific fields, etc.

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

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

    Registration fees:
    Non-students - attendance to both days - £96.00 including VAT.
    Non-students - attendance to one day only - £66.00 including VAT.
    Students - attendance to both days - £66.00 including VAT.
    Students - attendance to one day only - £48.00 including VAT.
    Dinner (optional) - £36.00 including VAT.

    The scientific organisers look forward to hearing from you with presentation offers or to discuss the suitability of a potential contribution. The
    submission deadline is 31 May 2020.

    Confirmation of the programme, and details of how to register, will be circulated before the end of July 2020.

    Please send abstracts (up to 300 words) in plain text format or some flavour of TeX. References may be included as appropriate.

    Please give name and affiliation of the presenter.

    To spell out the all too obvious, attendance does not require travel and specific dietary preferences are not an issue either.

    https://events.timberlake.co.uk/even...ata-conference is where to register for a nominal fee.

    Here is the timetable for your information.

    While mentioning the British summer, I want to paraphrase Bismarck: The British summer is the winter painted green.
