Re: ISBA 2016

Hi Stan-dev.  Is anyone planning to be at the ISBA 2016 meeting.  If so, would you be interested in doing a Stan tutorial?  (I won’t be there myself.)

See you

Hi Andrew,

I am writing as chair of the ISBA continuing education committee.
For the upcoming ISBA world meeting, June 13-17 2016, in Sardinia, we
are planning to schedule brief tutorial intros during
    Tu,We or Th afternoon
("siesta break"). This includes some software demos and discussion of
some special topics.

We would like to include one tutorial on
      STAN
Would you please possibly be willing to run such a tutorial?
Please??

Would you please be willing to do this?
best
Peter

I might be going, but I probably won't know for a few months...

I will attend the ISBA 2016 meeting, but do not think I am able to give a Stan tutorial...

[Michael Betancourt]

I’d be happy to give it but the ISBA dates are past my employment horizon
and, like others, I cannot confirm my attendance.

[Aki Vehtari]

I can confirm my attendance and give the tutorial (I assume someone can provide some slides). If Mike or someone else is able to come after all, they can give the tutorial, but now you can answer Peter that someone will give the tutorial.

Thanks!

OK, we’re still looking for a speaker, then, if anyone will happen to be at ISBA that day.

Update: I just found out that I should have funding for this type of travel next year, and I'm part of another session proposal that was sent into ISBA, so...I think I'll be there and could do this tutorial if needed.
