The UK Stata Conference is the longest-running series of Stata conferences and 2024 marks 30 years of this conference! To celebrate this milestone, we have some exciting keynote speakers lined up (to be announced). We are also excited to introduce the option to present a poster, which to be presented in ‘lightning’ talks. There is a prize for the best poster by an early-career researcher.
