<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rstudio.com/conference/" target="_blank">rstudio::conf</a>, the conference on all things R and RStudio, will take place February 2 and 3, 2018 in San Diego, California, preceded by Training Days on January 31 and February 1. We are pleased to announce that this year’s conference includes contributed talks and e-posters, and diversity scholarships.  More information below!</p>
<h2>Contributed talks and e-posters</h2>
<p>rstudio::conf() is accepting proposals for contributed <strong>talks</strong> and <strong>e-posters</strong> for the first time! Contributed talks are 20 minutes long, and will be scheduled alongside talks by RStudio employees and invited speakers. E-posters will be shown during the opening reception on Thursday evening: we’ll provide a big screen, power, and internet; you’ll provide a laptop with an innovative display or demo.</p>
<p>We are particularly interested in talks and e-posters that:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Showcase the use of R and RStudio’s tools to solve real problems.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Expand the tidyverse to reach new domains and audiences.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Communicate using R, whether it’s building on top of RMarkdown, Shiny, ggplot2, or something else altogether.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Discuss how to teach R effectively.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>To present you’ll also need to register for the conference.</p>
<p><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="https://rstudio.typeform.com/to/SUl5Qe" target="_blank">Apply now!</a></strong></p>
<p>Applications close Sept 15, and you’ll be notified of our decision by Oct 1.</p>
<h2>Diversity scholarships</h2>
<p>We’re also continuing our tradition of <strong>diversity scholarships</strong>, and this year we’re doubling the program to twenty recipients. We will support underrepresented minorities in the R community by covering their registration (including workshops), travel, and accommodation.</p>
