Dear All,
We are excited to announce that abstract submission and registration are now open for the 43rd Annual Conference of the Conference for Texas Statisticians (COTS). The conference is scheduled to take place on Friday, May 10, 2024, in Houston, Texas, with a focus on the theme "AI, Machine Learning, and Other Related Statistical Techniques with Applications."
The Conference of Texas Statisticians (COTS) originated at the annual American Statistical Association (ASA) meeting in Houston in 1980, with its inaugural session held in Waco in 1981. Since 1985, the Texas Chapters of the ASA have been integral in establishing the Council of Texas Statisticians, featuring representatives from each chapter. This conference serves as a platform for statisticians to engage in both social and intellectual exchanges with fellow researchers. COTS welcomes researchers at all levels-senior and junior, as well as students-to present their research talks or posters at COTS, fostering a rich and collaborative environment.
To participate, please register and submit your abstract by the deadline of April 5th, 2024. For detailed information regarding abstract submission, registration, and important dates, please visit the conference website at https://learn.houstonmethodist.org/AI-2024. We look forward to your active involvement in this exciting event.
The scientific program for the conference will encompass invited sessions, oral contributed sessions, and posters. Further details will be shared in the upcoming communications.
As for the social program, festivities will commence on the evening of Thursday, May 9th, with the Researchers' Gathering. This event serves as a platform for researchers to connect, network, and foster a sense of camaraderie at the conference.
The Welcome Reception and opening ceremony are scheduled for Friday morning, May 10th. Delectable lunch and coffee will be provided during the conference on May 10th, 2024.
The pinnacle of the social events will be the Conference Dinner and the presentation of the prestigious Don Owen Award and other awards on the evening of Friday, May 10th. Join us for a memorable and enriching experience.
