The 2024 Symposium on Data Science and Statistics—taking place June 4–7 in Richmond, Virginia—will feature plenary speakers from a variety of backgrounds who will offer thought-provoking sessions exploring topics such as data journalism, ethics and fairness, and the evolving AI research landscape. Participants can also expect courses covering a range of topics, including the following:

• Generative AI Fundamentals and Implementation of LLMs from the Ground Up with Ginger Holt
• Julia for Data Science with Josh Day
• Probabilistic Programming and Bayesian Computing with PyMC with Chris Fonnesbeck
• Effective Graphics for Visual Communication with Data with Susan VanderPlas and Heike Hofmann

 

Abstracts for lightning talks are being accepted. Lightning talks include a five-minute presentation followed by an e-poster session, which allows presenters to discuss their work at a relaxed pace. Lightning talk submission will close March 10.

As in the past, the symposium will offer networking opportunities such as speed mentoring. SDSS is for professionals at all levels, from those just starting out to seasoned experts. Registration opens February 5.
