Stephanie Shipp, Program Chair
The theme for the 2025 Symposium on Data Science and Statistics is “Bridging Disciplines: Advancing AI, Statistics, and Data Science Together.” Taking place April 29–May 2, 2025, at the Hilton in Salt Lake City, Utah, the theme reflects the transdisciplinary role statistics, data science, and now AI have integrated multiple disciplines to push the innovation boundaries of these rapidly evolving fields.
SDSS brings together statisticians, data scientists, social scientists, computer scientists, engineers, business leaders, and more to learn from and forge collaborations with each other. The power of these collaborations is their potential to advance knowledge across these fields, driving breakthroughs across various interests and applications.
All data enthusiasts are welcome. The SDSS program has sessions for attendees at every career level with interests organized into the following six tracks:
- Computational Statistics
- Statistical Data Science
- Data Visualization
- Practice and Applications
- Education
- Software and Data Science Technologies
SDSS will offer networking and career growth opportunities for students and early- and mid–career professionals. These opportunities include speed mentoring, organized lunches, and social events. With an array of experiences and with representatives from academia, industry, and government, the SDSS 2025 Program Committee is brainstorming ideas for new opportunities and events to foster growth opportunities during the conference.
Building on the SDSS 2024 activities, the SDSS 2025 program will include short courses, lightning talks paired with e-poster sessions, plenary panels, and refereed presentations. Refereed abstracts can be submitted now until December 5.
The conference will continue its partnership with the Journal of Data Science, and authors of refereed presentations will have the option to submit papers for a special issue.
“Special Issue: 2023 Symposium on Data Science and Statistics: ‘Inquire, Investigate, Implement, Innovate,” was recently published, and the SDSS 2024 special issue is in progress.
The conference will take place at the Hilton Salt Lake City Center in the downtown district. With opportunities for hiking and exploring nature, Salt Lake City also offers free transit around the city to visit farmers’ markets, restaurants, and art galleries.
