We’re excited to announce that the call for talks for Virtual R/Pharma 2024 is now open !!
Talks are short (10-20 minutes) high energy presentations that give you the chance to talk about an interesting project that you’ve tackled with R in pharma. Short talks, or demos of your R/Python code, R/Stan/Julia packages, and Shiny apps are great options.
We are particularly interested in submissions that have one or more of these qualities:
- Examples of how Shiny is used for interactive reporting for late-stage work
- Showcase the use of Open Source for drug discovery and development
- Using Open Source AI/LLMs in Pharma
- Applications from smaller Pharma companies / biotechs / clinical trials in general (including academia)
- Expand the use of R in Pharma to reach new domains and audiences
- Combining R with other languages and tools, like Python, Julia, Tensorflow etc.
- Reporting/Communication using R Markdown, Quarto, Shiny, ggplot2, or something else altogether
- Discussions on how to teach R/data science effectively in Pharma
- Talks on administering R in Pharma and tackling scaling, packages, cloud, HPC etc.
A few important tips:
- Don't be shy: We are particularly interested in talks from people who cannot usually make it to the in-person event or are newer to conference speaking. R/Pharma committee members are offering free speaker coaching: as long as you have an interesting R/Pharma idea and are willing to put in some work, we’ll help you develop a great talk.
- We are in Asia-Pacific too! In an effort to be more globally-inclusive, and following the successful first APAC track last year, R/Pharma will again be hosting presentations in Asia-Pacific time zones. When submitting a talk please note the checkbox related to presenting in the relevant time zone.
- There are lots of opportunities: If we have so many great submissions that we can't schedule them all in the live program we'll endeavor to include them in on-demand, pre-recorded talks. In addition we'll be hosting an expo so you can show off your awesome open source contributions (more details to follow).
