Featuring: Main Conference Events. This will include more workshops, lightning talks and plenary sessions.
And the week before we will have lots of hands-on workshops:

Series of workshops for all R levels, including Introduction to R training, package usage and tips and tricks. Further details and how to register will be released shortly.
Key note speakers
These two influential R contributors:
Julia Silge – co-creator of tidytext and now works with Max Kuhn on building out the TidyModels package. You can follow her here: https://juliasilge.com/.
Frank Harrell – Professor of Biostatistics at Vanderbilt University who specialises in all things statistical modelling and bayesian. Professor of Statistical Thinking himself: https://www.fharrell.com/.
These are just the initial speakers we have lined up, but there are many more from the NHS and other sectors discussing how R is being used in the NHS and other settings, as well as the future direction of data science and programming languages? I will also be there giving a talk on NHS-R solutions and doing a package demonstration of the NHSDataDictionaRy package – a package for key NHS lookups, and other useful web scraping tools.
When will the full conference be announced?
If this is not enough, the full conference agenda and series of events is set to be released very soon. We are aiming to do this next week, so watch this space.
