The year 2020 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of R version 1.0.0! To celebrate this, we are inviting the community of R users and developers for a two-day celebRation workshop/mini-conference on February 28-29th 2020 in Copenhagen.
We kick off on 28th February with hands-on workshops on two hot
topics, namely data visualization using contemporary
ggplot2
and extending R with
C++ using
the Rcpp package.
The day of the anniversary – February 29 – presents a line-up of speakers who cover the past, the present, and the future of the R programming language.
Current announced speakers are:
- Peter Dalgaard, Copenhagen Business School
- Julia Silge, StackOverflow
- Roger Bivand, Norwegian School of Economics
- Heather Turner, Freelance, UK
- Therese Graversen, IT University of Copenhagen
