The London meeting is the longest-running series of meetings of Stata
users' meetings, having started in 1995. The meeting is open to all
interested; in past years, participants have come from around the world.
StataCorp will be represented. We hope that many of you will want to put
this date in your diaries.

Potential visitors to London might like to know that, by British
standards, September is usually relatively dry and warm.

If you are interested in giving a presentation, please note that this
is now a formal call for offers. Please contact the scientific
organizers as soon as
possible and in any event before May 31.
