This is a reminder of the upcoming deadline for
abstract submissions for the inaugural
International Choice Modelling Conference to be
held at the Barceló Majestic Hotel in Harrogate
in the North of England from 30 March 2009 to 1April 2009.
Abstracts(up to 500 words) should be submitted
via the conference website
<http://www.jocm.org.uk>www.jocm.org.uk/conference
by 20 October 2008. The abstracts will be
reviewed by the academic committee for the
conference, and a decision on acceptance will be
made by the end of October 2008, with full papers due by 31 December 2008.
Delegates are also encouraged to book their
accommodation as early as possible with rooms in
the conference hotel being allocated on a first

We are excited to already give some details on
the conference programme. The highlight of the
conference will be a presentation by Professor
Daniel McFadden from the University of California
at Berkeley, Nobel Prize laureate in Economics
and chief architect of random utility modelling.
We are similarly delighted to announce that five
other leading choice modellers have agreed to
give keynote presentations at this conference. These are:
Professor Moshe Ben-Akiva, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology Professor Chandra Bhat,
University of Texas at Austin Professor Michel
Bierlaire, EPFL Lausanne Professor David Hensher,
University of Sydney Professor Riccardo Scarpa,Waikato University
This conference will bring together leading
researchers and practitioners from across the
many different areas in which choice modelling is
a key technique for understanding behaviour and
evaluating policy. Presentations will look both
at state-of-the-art methodology as well as
innovative real-world applications of choice
models. We are aiming at putting together a high
quality programme with a limited number of
parallel sessions and ample time for presentations and discussions.
We are also pleased to announce that five highly
regarded international organisations in the field
of choice modelling, MVA Consultancy, Peter
Davidson Consultancy, Rand Europe, Resource
Systems Group Inc. and Significance,have agreed to sponsor this event.
We look forward to seeing you in Yorkshire in Spring 2009.
