<p>Since a few new events have been announced recently, I thought I'd give a run-down on some major R conferences coming up in the next six months.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>February 18: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://capetown2017.satrdays.org/">satRdays</a></strong>, Cape Town (South Africa). This is the second in a series of one-day conferences inspired by an R Consortium proposal. The first event in Budapest was a great success, and the lineup (including an all-women keynote program) looks equally awesome this time around. I'm sad I can't make this one myself!</li>
<li><strong>April 21-22: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rstats.nyc/">New York City R Conference</a></strong> (USA). New York is a hub for R developers, and people come from all over to hear what some of the major contributors have to say. This conference also has a diverse keynote program, and includes a renowned Python developer(!).</li>
<li><strong>May 19-20: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rinfinance.com/">R in Finance</a></strong>, Chicago (USA). Now in its 9th year, this conference brings together a fantastic community of R users working in the finance industry. The call for papers is open through February 28.</li>
<li><strong>May 25-26: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://ropensci.org/community/events.html">ROpenSci Unconference</a></strong>, Los Angeles (USA). This is a great gathering focused on use of R for open science. (Details will be added to the website soon.)</li>
<li><strong>June 5-7: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.mango-solutions.com/wp/2017/01/earl-2017-abstract-submissions-open-for-san-francisco-and-london-san-francisco-dates-and-venue-announced/">EARL</a></strong>, San Francisco (USA). The Effective Applications of the R Language conference adds a new US venue, and like all EARL conferences will feature real-world applications of R. The call for papers is open for this event and also the London conference to be held September 12-14.</li>
<li><strong>July 4-7: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://user2017.brussels/">useR!2017</a></strong>, Brussels (Belgium). The big one! The annual worldwide R conference attracts hundreds of R users from around the globe with dozens of user-contributed talks and a fascinating keynote program. Talk proposals are being accepted through April 1.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Update Jan 24</strong>: And here are a few other conferences suggested by readers:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>May 25-25: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://raquebec.ulaval.ca/2017/">R à Québec 2017</a> </strong>(Quebec City, Canada). The first French-speaking conference focused on R in North America. </li>
<li><strong>June 8: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://rininsurance17.sciencesconf.org/">R in Insurance</a></strong>, Paris (France). For academics and practitioners using R as a primary tool for insurance risk management, analysis and modeling.</li>
