A few points: it is surprising how many tutorials are being given by non-academics: it will be fantastic to get a real-world view on these issues. Second, I am very impressed with the range of topics being discussed. Third, I would really like to see about 2\/3 of these, but know that I will only have time for 2 or 3 (since Monday is fully scheduled for me for the Edelman competition<\/a>). This is going to be frustrating! I think I will volunteer to do the conference scheduling in order to maximize the number of tutorials I can see.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in this conference, note that the super saver registration deadline is March 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
