JSM (the Joint Statistical Meetings) is the largest gathering of statisticians held in North America. It is held jointly with the American Statistical Association, International Biometric Society (ENAR andWNAR), Institute of Mathematical Statistics, International Society for Bayesian Analysis, Royal Statistical Society, International Statistical Institute, and several other societies. It is attended by more than 6,000 people.
JSM 2015 has one session on astrostatistics:
