COVID-19 UPDATE: Ritme’s top priority is the health and safety of our attendees, speakers, and staff.

We herewith wanted to inform you that in collaboration with the University of Bern as well as Stata Corp, we have taken the decision to organize the Stata Confernce in Bern on 19/11/2020 on line. The reason for this change is the actual sanitary situation which we all have to face. We really think that this is the best way to organize the meeting.

We will send out a Zoom Link to all participants that have done their registration a few days before the meeting. 

Ritme, as the official distributor of Stata, and the University of Bern have decided to host the 2020 Swiss Stata Conference in November this year.

Stata is your ally on your day-to-day work? You developed skills with Stata that you would like to share with your collaborators? Or you simply want to meet fellow users and StataCorp developers?

The conference will provide Stata users from across Switzerland and the world the opportunity to exchange ideas, experiences, and information on new applications of the software. Everybody who is interested in using Stata is welcome.

The conference language will be English.
