<p>Hello, R-users!</p>
<p>We are very excited to present to your attention nothing less than an international conference, <strong><a rel="nofollow" href="http://2018.erum.io/" target="_blank">eRum 2018</a>, </strong>and the conference <strong>keynote speakers</strong>!</p>
<p>The eRum conferences are particularly thought for the many Europeans that can’t manage to take part in the use!R conferences when they are based in USA – or, just like this year, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://user2018.r-project.org/" target="_blank">in Australia</a>.</p>
<p>The 2018 eRum edition will take place in <strong>Budapest, Hungary</strong>, from the <strong>14<span>th </span>to the 16<span>th</span> of May</strong>.</p>
<p>In 2016, eRum tool place <a rel="nofollow" href="http://erum.ue.poznan.pl/" target="_blank">in Ponzan</a>, Poland. More than 250 attendees and over 80 speakers participated, but we expect an even wider contribution for this edition.</p>
