15th London Stata Users' Meeting

2nd CALL FOR PAPERS

10-11 September 2009
Cass Business School, 106 Bunhill Row, London, EC1Y 8TZ, UK
(just off Finsbury Square in the City of London)

The forthcoming London Stata Users' Meeting will be as useful as usual. Put the dates in your diary now to ensure you can participate.

Better still, if you haven't already done so, submit a proposal for presentation. You are still on time and will then be able to attend for FREE.

Already booked to give tutorials are Ben Jann ("Recent developments in output processing"), and Paul Lambert and Patrick Royston ("Flexible parametric alternatives to the Cox model"). Yulia Marchenko from StataCorp will also make a presentation - we do not have a title yet. Bill Gould, chief developer and president of StataCorp, will also be present and host the Wishes and Grumbles session. Many Statalist stalwarts including Kit Baum, Maarten Buis, Nick Cox, and Martin Weiss are intending to be there too -- come and see what they look like and hear them in person.

The complete programme will be announced later (see below). The registration fees will be the same as for 2008: £75.00 for both days; £50 for one day. (There are reduced rates for paper presenters: see
below.)

Please contact us before 31 May 2009, and preferably sooner! And read on for more details.
