History
Since its inception in 2012, the UPSTAT conference series has uninterruptedly gathered the most eager practicing statisticians and data scientists of our beautiful upstate New York region every single year. Thanks to the remarkable and commendable commitment of statistical practitioners and faculty members along with their dedicated students from Rochester Institute of Technology, University of Rochester, St John Fisher College, Canisius College, SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Buffalo, SUNY Buffalo State, SUNY Fredonia, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Oneonta, SUNY Oswego, SUNY Albany, Niagara University, Syracuse University, St Bonaventure College, SUNY Brockport, City University of New York (CUNY) Cornell University, and Siena University. The conference has occasionally welcomed participants from as far as Carnegie Mellon University. The UPSTAT conference series has become the annual gathering forum for all the statisticians and data scientists of upstate New York. With very little means, we have harnessed the talents of our volunteer organizing committee members to build the UPSTAT conference series into a very promising vehicle for cutting edge Statistical and Data Science education in our Upstate New York region.
The UPSTAT Conference series team is forever grateful to all the generous sponsors who have support the conference over the years. It would be impossible to properly run a high quality conference without the support of our sponsors.
