The London meeting is the longest-running series of Stata users meetings.
The meeting is open to all interested. In past years participants were 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.
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.
