Dear all,
Registration is currently open for the Young Statisticians' Meeting (YSM) 2011 - send your booking forms to us soon, as registration closes on the 4th March!
The YSM is an annual event specifically designed for career young statisticians, organised by career young statisticians. If you are in the early years of your statistical career (first 10 years) or currently studying for a PhD, MSc or BSc in a statistical topic, then YSM offers an excellent opportunity to present your own research in a friendly atmosphere, discover a variety of other statistical topics currently being researched and network amongst your peers. This year, the YSM 2011 will be held at the University of Southampton on the 12th-14th April 2011.
The traditional two day YSM has been extended to 2 and a half days, mostly due to the ever growing popularity of YSM and the increasing number of delegates who want to present their work. YSM 2011 has a jam-packed programme of speakers, workshops and parallel sessions, the new "Dinner and debate" evening event, and a conference dinner with traditional English country dancing.
