Registration Open for R/Finance 2015!

You can find registration information and agenda details (as they become available) on the conference website.  Or you can go directly to the registration page.  Note that there’s an early-bird registration deadline of May 15.

The conference will take place on May 29 and 30, at UIC in Chicago.  Building on the success of the previous conferences in 2009-2014, we expect more than 250 attendees from around the world. R users from industry, academia, and government will joining 30+ presenters covering all areas of finance with R.

We are very excited about the four keynote presentations given by Emanuel Derman, Louis Marascio, Alexander McNeil, and Rishi Narang.  The main agenda (currently) includes 18 full presentations and 19 shorter “lightning talks”.  As in previous years, several (optional) pre-conference seminars are offered on Friday morning.

There is also an (optional) conference dinner that will once-again be held at The Terrace at Trump Hotel. Overlooking the Chicago river and skyline, it is a perfect venue to continue conversations while dining and drinking.
