2008 UK Stata Users Group meeting
Program announcement
The London meeting is the longest-running series of Stata Users Group meetings.
The meeting is open to anyone interested. In past years, participants were from
Britain, Ireland, other European countries, the United States, and
Australia. Representatives from StataCorp will attend.
The meeting will include the usual “Wishes and grumbles” session,
during which you may air your thoughts to Stata developers, and (at additional
cost) the option of an informal meal at a London restaurant on Monday
evening.
By British standards, London is usually relatively dry and warm in September.
