Office for National Statistics, Newport, South Wales

The Young Statisticians Meeting (YSM) was specifically designed for young statisticians by young statisticians. Adults in the early years of their statistical career, or studying for a PhD or MSc in statistics were offered an excellent opportunity to network with peers, present their own research and discover a variety of other statistical topics currently being researched.

Abstract submission and registration is now closed.

The programme included two plenary sessions with guest speakers plus a series of parallel sessions and a poster session. Also included in the delegate fee were a number of social events offering the opportunity to relax and socialise with fellow delegates. There was a sponsors' wine reception and a hot buffet dinner on the first evening at the conference venue, and on day two, an evening gala dinner in a central Cardiff location, walking distance from the recommended conference accommodation.
