I would like to highlight two resources that, in my humble opinion as ISBA Social Media Manager, remain under-recognized yet immensely valuable:
ISBA Webinars on Bayesian Analysis Articles (2019–present).This webpage gathers an exceptional collection of webinars discussing Bayesian Analysis articles since 2019. For anyone curious about the frontiers of Bayesian statistics, this series brings together cutting-edge research from world-class experts. The talks span topics such as model uncertainty and missing data, new perspectives on stick-breaking models, sparse Bayesian factor analysis, and advances in causal inference under model mis-specification. Other contributions cover nonparametric priors, spatio-temporal modeling of Arctic sea ice, Bayesian regression trees for causal inference, and much more.The next BA webinar will focus on the paper “Model Uncertainty and Missing Data: An Objective Bayesian Perspective” by G. García-Donato, M. Eugenia Castellanos, S. Cabras, A. Quirós, and A. Forte. There will be four invited discussants: M. Clyde, M. Ferreira, A. Ly, and J. Rubio. It is scheduled for November 5, 2025 (4:00 PM UTC | 11:00 AM EST | 5:00 PM CET). Registration will be announced later on this webpage.ISBA YouTube Channel.All recorded webinar videos are available on the ISBA YouTube channel. Beyond the webinars, the channel hosts curated playlists from ISBA World Meetings (2012, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2022, 2024), specialized workshops and seminars (ABI, BNP, BayesComp), as well as content from ISBA Sections (j-ISBA, BNP, BioPharma, Industrial).These resources deserve broad visibility. I warmly encourage you to explore them, share them within your networks, and let us know your feedback.— Julyan, on behalf of the ISBA Social Media team

The registration for BAYSM 2024 is now officially open. The Bayesian Young Statistician Meeting will take place in Ca’Foscari on 29 and 30 June, 2024, prior to the ISBA meeting. Early bird registration is available till 10 May and for a very low fee that includes lunches and a reception, terrificò! (Note that dedicated childcare is furthermore available.) And note that the early bird registration for the World ISBA meeting has also been extended to 01 May.
ISBA²⁴ [call for contributed talks]
Posted in Kids, pictures, Statistics, Travel, University life with tags Bayesian Analysis, Bayesian bridge, call for contributions, conference, deadline for submission, Gran Canale, International Society for Bayesian Analysis, ISBA 2024, Italy, Rialto, San Giobbe, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia, Venice on September 28, 2023 by xi'an
Now that the invited sessions have been selected by the scientific committee of ISBA²⁴ (with both sessions in which I am involved, Bayesian data privacy and The future of ISBA conferences, accepted), the call is open for contributed talks, with deadline 17 November. (If this helps in making a proposal, childcare will be available during the conference.)
Contributed talks will be 20 minutes long. Please note that the one-oral-presentation-per-speaker policy is in effect: Each participant shall give at most one oral presentation. All talks, discussions, and panel discussions, &tc count as an oral presentation, the only exceptions being discussants for Named Lectures, and presenters of short courses.
