Based on the feedback from StanConnect 2021, @SGB has decided to continue the series. The format will remain the same. Quoting the 2021 announcement:
The StanConnect is a virtual miniseries that will consist of several 3-hour meetings/mini-symposia. You can think of each meeting as a kind of organized conference “session.”
- Anyone can feel free to organize a StanConnect meeting as a “Session Chair”. Simply download the proposal form as a docx, fill it out, and submit to SGB via email (board@mc-stan.org). The meeting must be scheduled for sometime this year.
- The talks must involve Stan and be focused around a subject/topic theme. E.g. “Spatial models in Ecology via Stan”.
- You will see that though we provide a few “templates” for how to structure a StanConnect meeting, we are trying to avoid being overly prescriptive. Rather, we are giving Session Chairs freedom to invite speakers related to their theme and structure the 3-hr meeting as they see fit.
We will be accepting proposals in a rolling basis throughout the year. To allow ample review and preparation, please give at least 6 weeks between the proposed event date and the proposal submission.
We thank again our 2021 session chairs @jsocolar, @hyunji.moon, @maxbiostat, @bnicenboim for organizing such wonderful events. We also thank all the speakers and participants for their work and inspiring discussions. Please follow the link for this year’s recordings playlist.
If you have any questions, please feel free to post here or email board@mc-stan.org.
