The 20th anniversary meeting of the Biopharmaceutical Applied Statistics Symposium (BASS XX) will be held November 4–7 at the Double Tree (by Hilton) Hotel in downtown Orlando, Florida.

At least 16 one-hour tutorials on diverse topics pertinent to the research, clinical development, and regulation of pharmaceuticals will be presented by speakers from academia, the pharmaceutical industry, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Two parallel one-day short courses will be presented November 6–7, and the keynote address will take place on November 5, with a reception following. The FDA biometrics session will be the morning of November 6.

BASS is a nonprofit entity, sponsored by the department of biostatistics at Virginia Commonwealth University and the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health at Georgia Southern University. Its purpose is to raise funds for graduate fellowships in biostatistics.

To date, 50 graduate students have been supported by funds raised by BASS.
