The London meeting is the longest-running series of Stata users
meetings. The meeting is open to all interested. In past years
participants have been from Britain, Ireland, other European countries,
USA, and Australia. 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.
Please email the scientific organisers if you are interested, indicating
whether you wish to give:
(i) a 20 min talk (followed by 10 min discussion),
(ii) a 10 min talk (5 min discussion), or
(iii) a longer review or tutorial (about an hour).
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

authors involved). Timberlake will also pay a small fee to a presenter
of a longer review or tutorial paper. Presenters need to register.
