Data Science and Statistics for Quality
Hybrid Conference
Given the uncertainty surrounding in-person meetings in the US and Florida, the QPRC 2021 organizers are planning to hold a hybrid conference. We will plan on having both in-person and virtual sessions and speakers.
The goal of the conference is to stimulate interdisciplinary research and innovative solutions to problems though interactions among statisticians, quality professionals, engineers, data scientists, students, and others from many fields.
The conference theme is "Data Science and Statistics for Quality." The program will reflect this by including many sessions on machine learning and high dimensional data structures, for example. We will also have many quality-related sessions on such topics as statistical process control and reliability.
We look forward to you joining us for the conference on the campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida - Florida's capitol city. If you can't travel to us, we are making this as hybrid conference with the option to attend and participate remotely!
