<p>My impression is that the JSM has become ever more R friendly over recent years, but with two sessions organized around R tools and several talks featuring R packages, this year may turn out to be the beginning of a new era where conference organizers see value in putting R on the agenda and prospective speakers perceive it to be advantageous to mention R, an R package or a Shiny App in their abstract. </p>
<p>As should be expected, the vast majority of the presentations will focus on statistics or the application of statistical methods, and not on the underlying computational platform. Nevertheless, based on past experience I would be very surprised if there is not quite a bit more R talk buzzing around the conference. </p>
<p>If you are going to Chicago please stop by the Microsoft booth 232. We would be happy to tell you how we are using R at Microsoft and even more interested in hearing your opinion about what Microsoft should be doing with R. Also look for us at the opening night mixer (Sunday 6 – 8PM in the Expo Hall) and the Student Mixer (Monday 6 – 7:30PM in the Chicago Hilton Hotel)</p>
<p>Here follows my <strong>R Users Guide to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amstat.org/meetings/jsm/2016/">JSM 2016</a></strong>. I have organized the talks by session number and included information on times and room numbers.</p>
