[Dirk Eddelbuettel]

A quick update: R/Finance 2012 registration is going stronger than for any of
the three previous R/Finance conferences.  We just reached 100 registrations,
this took just three weeks and a day.

The different pre-conference seminars are filling fast as well, with the most
popular seminar already at 42% of capacity.  Similarly, the official
conference dinner is already 50% sold.

More details about the conference ad well as registrations information can be
found below in the earlier announcement.

For the committee,   Dirk

| in Chicago -- is NOW OPEN!
|  
| Building on the success of the three previous conferences in 2009, 2010,
| and 2011, we expect more than 250 attendees from around the world.  R
| users from industry, academia, and government will join 40+ presenters
| covering all areas of finance with R.
| 
| This year's conference will start earlier in the day on Friday, to
| accommodate the tremendous line up of speakers for 2012, as well as to
| provide more time between talks for networking.
| 
| We are very excited about the four keynotes by Paul Gilbert, Blair
| Hull, Rob McCulloch, and Simon Urbanek.  The main agenda includes
| nineteen full presentations and eighteen shorter "lightning talks".
| We are also excited to offer six optional pre-conference seminars on
| Friday morning.
| 
| Once again, we are hosting the R/Finance conference dinner on Friday
| evening, where you can continue conversations while dining and
| drinking atop a West Loop restaurant overlooking the Chicago skyline.
