[Joshua Ulrich]

Hi All,

A quick note that R/Finance registration is open, and early-bird
pricing ends a week from today, on 5/21.

Announcement below:

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the R/Finance Conference!  As
in prior years, 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.  The conference
will take place on June 1st and 2nd, at UIC in Chicago.

You can find registration information on the conference website:

Note that registration fees will increase by 50% at the end of early
registration on May 21, 2018.

We are very excited about keynote presentations by JJ Allaire, Li
Deng, and Norm Matloff.  The conference agenda (currently) includes 18
full presentations and 33 shorter "lightning talks".  As in previous
years, several (optional) pre-conference seminars are offered on
Friday morning.  We're still working on the agenda, but we have
another great lineup of speakers this year!

There is also an (optional) conference dinner at Wyndham Grand Chicago
Riverfront in the 39th Floor Penthouse Ballroom and Terrace.  Situated
directly on the riverfront, it is a perfect venue to continue
conversations while dining and drinking.

We would to thank our 2018 Sponsors for the continued support enabling
us to host such an exciting conference:
