The 22nd London Stata Users Group Meeting takes place on Thursday, 8 and Friday, 9 September 2016 at Cass Business School, London.

The UK Stata Users Group meeting is a two-day international conference to discuss the use of Stata across a wide-ranging breadth of fields and environments.

Established in 1995, the UK meeting is the longest-running series of Stata Users Group meetings. The meeting is open to everyone. In past years, participants have travelled from around the world to attend the event. Representatives from StataCorp will also be in attendance.

Timberlake Consultants, as logistics organiser, generously sponsors registration fee waivers for presentations (one fee waiver per presentation, regardless of number of authors involved). Timberlake will also pay a small fee to a presenter of a longer review or tutorial paper.
Timberlake can also assist delegates with sourcing accommodation and other general inquiries regarding traveling or staying in London. Visitors to London might like to know that by British standards, September is usually relatively dry and warm.
