The Iowa chapter wants to share some exciting news with you! Our 3rd annual student-focused event will be hosted at Iowa State University on Friday, February 27, 2026!

The event will feature, among other sessions, a tutorial on meta-analysis in the morning, poster presentations by both undergraduate and graduate students over a long lunch period, and a panel discussion of statistical activities at National Laboratories in the United States.

Come and meet other statisticians in the state of Iowa!  Allow us to introduce the Iowa Chapter of the American Statistical Association to you and your students or colleagues.  Please register by the 15^th of February 2026 here so we have some idea of how much food will be needed for lunch and breaks.
