[ Pardon the almost off-topic post, but in case you can a) make it to Chicago and b) would like to listen to Romain and myself for an entire day, we will be giving a day-long workshop on Rcpp on the 28th. We are at thirteen participants, so some spots remain to our target of fifteen and cap of twenty.
In case you do not want to register for R/Finance we could arrange; just email me off list. --Dirk ] R/Finance 2011 will take place in about ten days on April 29-30 in Chicago. The finalised conference agenda in pdf format is available at http://www.RinFinance.com/agenda/agenda.pdf Building on the success of the two previous conferences in 2009 and 2010, we are expecting more than 200 attendees from around the world representing both industry and academia to join a record 30+ presentations covering all areas of finance with R. This year we are excited to have longer tutorial sessions. These tree optional pre-conference tutorials are offered on the morning of April 29: J Ryan Automated Trading with R 3 slots remaining G Yollin/S Payseur High-Freq Analysis with R sold out E Zivot Financial Risk Models with R 3 slots remaining Also, and for the first time, an optional full-day workshop is offered by D Eddelbuettel and R Francois on Rcpp and R / C++ integration; and a few slots are still open. In addition, we have worked hard to extend the great networking opportunities on both days with longer breaks and more hallway time between sessions. New for 2011 is a special conference dinner that is held on Friday evening. Overlooking the river from the famed Chicago Mercantile Exchange, we have designed it to be a great way to continue the conversations from the first day, as well as offering a chance to dine and drink in Chicago style. More details of the agenda are available at: http://www.RinFinance.com Registration can be directly accessed by going to http://www.regonline.com/RinFinance2011 On behalf of the committee and sponsors, we look forward to seeing you in Chicago!
