rstudio::conf , the conference on all things R and RStudio, will take place February 2 and 3, 2018 in San Diego, California, preceded by Training Days on January 31 and February 1. We are pleased to announce that this year’s conference includes contributed talks and e-posters, and diversity scholarships. More information below!
Contributed talks and e-posters#
rstudio::conf() is accepting proposals for contributed talks and e-posters for the first time! Contributed talks are 20 minutes long, and will be scheduled alongside talks by RStudio employees and invited speakers. E-posters will be shown during the opening reception on Thursday evening: we’ll provide a big screen, power, and internet; you’ll provide a laptop with an innovative display or demo.
We are particularly interested in talks and e-posters that:
-
Showcase the use of R and RStudio’s tools to solve real problems.
-
Expand the tidyverse to reach new domains and audiences.
-
Communicate using R, whether it’s building on top of RMarkdown, Shiny, ggplot2, or something else altogether.
-
Discuss how to teach R effectively.
To present you’ll also need to register for the conference.
Applications close Sept 15, and you’ll be notified of our decision by Oct 1.
Diversity scholarships#
We’re also continuing our tradition of diversity scholarships, and this year we’re doubling the program to twenty recipients. We will support underrepresented minorities in the R community by covering their registration (including workshops), travel, and accommodation.
Applications close Sept 15, and you’ll be notified of our decision by Oct 1.
