<p><em>Guest post by Maciej Beręsewicz.</em></p>
<p>It has been a very active semester in Europe regarding R meetings. After two successful main events: <a target="_blank" href="http://budapest.satrdays.org/">satRday in Budapest</a>, and <a target="_blank" href="https://earlconf.com/london/">EARL in London</a>, now is the turn for <a target="_blank" href="http://erum.ue.poznan.pl/">eRum 2016, the first European R users meeting</a>. More than 250 data scientists will meet in Poznan, Poland, from 12th to 14th of October, to discuss and present innovative uses of the statistical language R in different industries, academic world, and government.</p>
<p>A crucial part of an event like this is the support of sponsors for many reasons: In first place they make possible to keep registration fees low, so more people can attend; they also help to validate the meeting inside the R global community; they contribute to the sessions with innovative applications in real business environments; and they add more value to the conference by the direct interaction with the rest of the attendants on coffee breaks and social events, or directly on their exhibition stands.</p>
<p>As organizers of eRum 2016 we are very proud and grateful to have well known and innovative companies who believe in our contribution to the R community and will make eRum 2016 a great meeting of useRs. Let us introduce our current sponsors!</p>
