[social4i size=”large” align=”float-right”] (Guest post by ODSC West Team) These are good days to be an R programmer. There’s been a slew of big players announcing R integration including IBM and Microsoft.  These and similar announcements are accelerating R’s move out of the lab and into the enterprise.  Couple this development with the fact that demand for data scientists is still white hot especially for with programming skills in languages like R. The Open Data Science Conference (ODSC) in Santa Clara on November, 4th – 6th is there to help you accelerate your R learning by covering a lot of ground on a lot topics quickly.  This year’s ODSC conference includes more than 90 talks and 50 workshops on a wide range of data science tools, topics and languages, including R. Here are some great reasons why thousands of R enthusiasts, just like you, will be attending ODSC West 2016. ODSC conferences are well known for their high-level speakers. Presenters are hand-picked and only the best and brightest in the data science field make the cut. That’s why we invited two of the top R experts this year to train you. Jared Lander, Author of R for Everyone, will be giving 2 premium training sessions:

• Modeling & Analytics in R
• Machine Learning Tools in R

Also, don’t miss your chance to learn and train with one of the best known names in R!
