Dear ASA Connect Community,
We just wrapped up JSM last week, and it was wonderful to see so many colleagues and friends come together. If you are still looking forward to connecting with fellow statisticians, data scientists, and quantitative researchers in Boston, we warmly invite you to join us at the DahShu Data Science Symposium 2026, taking place October 22-23, 2026, at Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. Both in-person and virtual attendance options are available.
Early Bird Registration is available through August 19, 2026. Registration closes on October 19, 2026.
This year's symposium theme is:
"Thrive with statistical thinking in the age of AI inference, uncertainty, and interpretability guiding high-impact decisions."
The symposium will bring together researchers and professionals from academia, industry, and the broader quantitative science community to discuss emerging topics in statistics, data science, AI, biomedical research, drug development, and healthcare decision-making.
Program highlights include:
- Keynote talks by Goncalo Rocha Abecasis of Regeneron and Susan Murphy of Harvard University
- Scientific sessions on causal evidence and real-world data, high-dimensional biomedical data, advanced clinical trial technologies, AI in drug discovery and translational research, digital health and wearable sensors, genomics, explainable AI, and Bayesian methodology
