Unmissable conference focusing on the latest development of applied statistics.

We invite you to Western Australia for the Australasian Applied Statistics Conference 2024 (AASC2024) to be held on Rottnest Island at the Samphire Resort on 3-5 September 2024.

Imagine immersing yourself in the fascinating world of statistics and data science while surrounded by azure blue waters, unspoiled sandy beaches, and a vibrant array of local wildlife. Rottnest Island, fondly known as 'Rotto' by locals, provides the perfect serene backdrop for deep intellectual engagement and promises an unforgettable experience filled with exploration, adventure, and relaxation.

This conference is in the series which originated with the Australasian Genstat Conference held in Canberra in 1979. It became the Australasian Applied Statistics Conference in 2011 to encompass the wider community of applied statisticians. AASC conferences have been held in Palm Cove (Aus), Queenstown (NZ), Port Lincoln (Aus), Bermagui (Aus), Rotorua (NZ) and Inverloch (Aus).

The conference is small and friendly, so you can meet and get to know all the participants, and we hope you will make new friends and find opportunities for collaboration. Whether you're a seasoned professional, an eager academic or a bright-eyed student keenly exploring the vast and complex world of statistics, this conference is for you! We passionately welcome anyone studying or working in statistics, data science, and related fields to join us for an enlightening journey into how statistical methodologies can be leveraged across various biological disciplines.

We are excited to facilitate sharing ideas, inspiring innovation, and fostering meaningful connections. Let's dive into the engaging universe of statistics together at AASC 2024. We can't wait to see you on Rottnest Island!
