Traditionally this conference has a friendly atmosphere and attracts academics, developers of methods for applied statistics, and consulting biometricians, not all of whom are GenStat and/or ASREML users. The 2011 conference focus will be expanded from previous years to include GenStat and it's sister software ASREML, but users of any software package are encouraged to attend. This conference gives you the opportunity to meet with the software developers and hear about new features in the packages. However, the major overall focus is on sharing experiences in biometrical applications and learning about new advances in statistics.
A further announcement will be made when the official conference website is available. In the meantime further information can be obtained by emailing the conference secretary, Carole Wright, [log in to unmask]
