SUNDAY - MONDAY
Workshops
For posit::conf(2023), we have an array of workshops that will feature hands-on exercises, discussions, and Q&A. You’ll also have an opportunity to meet, share and collaborate with other conference attendees with similar interests. This year, for the first time, we’re offering a mix of one and two-day workshops so that with your two-day workshop pass, you can choose to go deep into a single topic or spread your time across two topics.
TUESDAY - WEDNESDAY
CONFERENCE
Four conference tracks will highlight exciting work across the R, PyData, & Posit landscape in two exciting days. You’ll hear from some of the most thoughtful practitioners and effective speakers in science, industry, and technology.
Talks will be live-streamed for those who can’t join in person, and we’ll post recordings a few weeks after the conference, so you can review anything you missed. A full list of speakers and a complete agenda will be available in early August.

"At our last conference, over 100 educators met up during lunch to connect and exchange ideas on teaching (with) R. One of my best memories of the conference is commiserating and reveling about our shared experiences. I look forward to doing the same next year in Chicago."
