The Virginia Chapter of the American Statistical Association will hold its annual meeting in-person at Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA, on Friday, October 22, 2021. We are pleased to announce that Dr. William Rosenberger, University Professor of Statistics at George Mason University, will deliver the Honorary Keynote Lecture.
We are currently accepting abstracts for consideration of oral and poster presentations, which will also be held during the plenary session. Abstracts may focus on current and novel topics in statistics, biostatistics, genomics, bioinformatics or other related fields. ASA and Chapter members, industry professionals, academic faculty, and both undergraduate and graduate students within the Commonwealth of Virginia are especially encouraged to submit an abstract, though all are welcome to attend. Please submit your titles, abstracts and affiliations via the following Virginia Chapter website (which can be accessed here) by October 1, 2021; decisions on accepted presentations and posters will be made shortly thereafter. Please direct questions and inquiries to Roy T. Sabo, Ph.D., regarding abstract submissions and to N. Rao Chaganty, Ph.D., regarding travel and accommodations.
All attendees and presenters are encouraged to pre-register, however can also register on site ($10 registration fee for students; $20 registration fee for professionals and faculty; we accept cash, checks (made out to the Virginia Chapter of the American Statistical Association) and Venmo (@Roy-Sabo)) to help support the Chapter and so that we can provide light refreshments.
