Amy Farris, ASA Director of Membership Development and Marketing 

Will you be joining us for the sixth annual ASA Conference on Statistical Practice in Jacksonville, Florida, February 23–25, 2017? CSP provides opportunities for attendees to learn new statistical methodologies and best practices in statistical analysis, design, consulting, and statistical programming. Beyond hands-on skills development, there are also many opportunities for mentoring, networking, and engaging with colleagues!

Keynote Address

David Banks of Duke University will present Snakes and Ladders: Challenges in Forging a Career in Statistics. His talk will address the challenges facing the profession and how to manage your career to best capitalize on the move to a knowledge-based economy.

Mentoring Program 

Both mentors and mentees are needed. Strengthen the statistics community by participating and building a network of colleagues who will support and encourage one another. There is no cost to participate, but mentees are selected via an application process and participation is limited.

Career Service 

The CSP Career Service is another benefit of attending the conference. It is a web-based system that connects candidates and potential employers so they can pursue informal meetings and interviews during the conference and have access to one another long after the meeting. All registered CSP attendees can post their résumés at no charge.

Early registration for the conference is open through January 10, 2017. Our goal is to maintain the intimate and personal feel of the conference, so register before the conference and courses are filled.
