The R/Finance 2017 program is published!

The conference will take place on May 19 and 20, at UIC in Chicago.
Building on the success of the previous conferences in 2009-2016, we
expect more than 250 attendees from around the world. R users from
industry, academia, and government will joining 50 presenters covering
all areas of finance with R.

We are very excited about the two keynote presentations given by Dave
DeMers and Szilard Pafka.  The conference agenda (currently) includes
19 full presentations and 31 shorter "lightning talks".  As in
previous years, several (optional) pre-conference seminars are offered
on Friday morning.

There is also an (optional) conference dinner at the Penthouse
Ballroom and Terrace at the Wyndham Grand Chicago Riverfront.  From
the 39th floor, you can gaze at sweeping views of the downtown skyline
and Chicago River, and continue conversations while dining and
drinking.
