Submit an Invited Session Proposal to 2023 Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) through ICSA Sponsorship by September 8, 2022

The 2023 Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) will be held in Toronto, Canada, on August 5 – 10, 2023. Two invited sessions will be allocated for the ICSA. One of these two sessions will be dedicated for Statistics in Biosciences. The other one is open for application. The theme for JSM 2023 is “One Community: Informing Decisions and Driving Discovery,” but not all sessions have to adhere to this theme. All invited sessions are 110 minutes in length, and have a session chair, with various formats allowed. The sessions typically include up to 6 participants, plus the chair, with two of the most popular and successful formats being 2–3 speakers with a discussant or a panel discussion of 3–5 panelists.
