Dear Colleagues,

I would like to share a few updates regarding the forthcoming CSAS 2026:

+ The on-campus hotel block at the special conference rate was scheduled to expire today; however, the hotel has granted a one-day extension. As this is the only on-campus accommodation, please make your reservation as soon as possible.

+ The deadline for poster abstract submissions has been extended to Monday, March 23, at 11:59 PM. We would appreciate your help in encouraging students to submit their work.

+ We maintain a mailing list of sports analytics and data science clubs for event communications. If you would like your club to be included, please complete the following form: https://forms.gle/aCb1MJRcjEZdN9gj6 .

Thank you for your continued support.

Best regards,
