Please join us for the 6th Statistical Practice in Cancer Conference (SPCC), to be held at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa Florida, Friday morning through Saturday noon, February 16-17, 2024. Our Keynote speakers are Alan Agresti, University of Florida, "Simple Ways to Interpret Effects in Modeling Binary and Ordinal Data", Sumithra Mandrekar, Mayo Clinic, "Analyses Leveraging Data from Allliance-Coordinated Clinical Trials to Inform Design, Conduct, and Endpoints", and Yang Xie, University of Texas Southwestern (talk title TBA). A Panel Discussion will be on: "Data Management and Sharing" (Moderator: Leslie Cope, Johns Hopkins University).
The goal of this one-and-a-half day conference is to enhance "best statistical practices" for cancer center biostatisticians. The emphasis is on practical solution to challenges we often face and opportunities to gain efficiencies in our collaborations. Contributions are welcomed from any area of statistical practice in cancer, but the use of modern data science is a particular area of emphasis for the 2024 meeting.
Abstract deadline for the conference is December 17, 2023, and registration by January 29, 2024. The Program Committee will select some abstracts for talks, and others for a poster session. The registration is free for this in-person meeting.
