Further information

The London conference is the longest-running series of Stata conferences. It is open to all interested. In past years participants have been 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.
