The first ever EARL (Enterprise Applications of the R Language) conference in San Francisco will take place on June 5-7 (and it's not too late to register). The EARL conference series is now in its fourth year, and the prior conferences in London and Boston have each been a fantastic way to learn how R is used in real-world applications. Judging from the speaker lineup in San Francisco, next month's event looks like it will feature some great R stores as well. Included on the program will be stories from the following companies:
- AirBnB (Keynote presentation by Ricardo Bion)
- StitchFix (Keynote presentation by Hilary Parker)
- Uber (Keynote presentation by Prakhar Mehrota)
- Hitachi Solutions (David Bishop)
- Amgen (Daniel Saldana)
- Pfizer (Luke Fostveldt)
- Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center (Thomas Vaughan)
- Domino Data Lab (Eduardo Ariño de la Rubia)
- Genentech (Gabriel Becker)
... and many more. On a personal note, I'm looking forward to presenting with my colleague Bharath Sankaranarayan on using Microsoft R to predict hospital stays.
