May 28-30, 2025


The fourth Lifetime Data Science (LiDS) Conference is scheduled to take place from May 28 to May 30, 2025, at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge in Brooklyn, NY. Under the theme 'Lifetime Data Science and the World,' the conference will host distinguished keynote speakers, including Drs. Nicholas P. Jewell and Mei-Ling Ting Lee, prominent figures in the field of survival analysis. The program will feature a day of short courses and two days of parallel invited sessions. A highlight of the event will be the banquet on May 29, 2025. In addition to being held at a top-tier venue, New York City is home to myriad world-class academic institutions, tech, and pharmaceutical companies, and health care organizations. Building on the success of previous LiDS conferences held in 2017, 2019, and 2023, we anticipate an engaging and informative event showcasing the latest advancements in lifetime data science research.
