st: re: switching from SPSS to Stata

Martin made the excellent suggestion

Another thing you can do is go either to the Stata Conference in  
Washington DC on July 30-31 or to the Canadian Stata Users' Meeting in  
Toronto on October 22, especially if you have a list concerns that may  
live in your organization. There will be many power-users of Stata and  
Stata developers there who will be more than willing to think with you  
to find solutions. More about these meetings can be found here: http://www.stata.com/meeting/

Whether or not you have the opportunity to attend one of these  
conferences/user group meetings, please be aware that their  
proceedings (which usually include each presenters' slide shows and  
software, where applicable) may be perused on the web. As an adjunct  
to maintaining the Statistical Software Components Archive, Boston  
College also hosts these materials on RePEc. The entire list of those  
available are at http://ideas.repec.org/i/ps.html  (search for Stata  
Users Group). The two most recent listings,  from the 2009 German and  
Mexican meetings, are also listed at IDEAS under http://ideas.repec.org/i/pnew.html
Links to the specific pages for a particular meeting are also  
available on the Stata website, linked from
http://www.stata.com/meeting/proceedings.html


A note to presenters: If you are registered at RePEc and are not  
listed on http://ideas.repec.org/g/stataus.html  please let me know  
and I will add you. That page provides a compendium of all materials  
in RePEc produced by 36 members of the Stata user community (Stata- 
related or not). If you are not registered at RePEc and would like to  
be -- regardless of your discipline -- please visit http://authors.repec.org
