Building on the success of the previous conferences in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, we expect around 300 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 keynotes by Bill Cleveland, Alexios Ghalanos, Bob McDonald and Luke Tierney. The main agenda (currently) includes sixteen full presentations and twenty-one shorter “lightning talks”. We are also excited to offer four optional pre-conference seminars on Friday morning.

To celebrate the sixth year of the conference in style, the dinner will be returning to The Terrace of the Trump Hotel. Overlooking the Chicago River and skyline, it is a perfect venue to continue conversations while dining and drinking.
