Invitation to Data Science Forum & Vail Ski Retreat - April 11-13, 2014

Dear Professional Colleagues:

The Data Science Association is pleased to announce the Data Science Forum and Vail Ski Retreat, to be held 11-13 April 2014 in Vail Colorado at the Vail Tivoli. See Map.

Register here for a tax deductible professional forum and retreat. As an international event, this is a unique opportunity for professionals, academics and students to hear the latest data science findings and network. The overall theme for the conference is Predictive Analytics.

April 11-13 is Spring Back to Vail weekend - the biggest end-of-season bash in the Rocky Mountains! Free live concerts, the infamous World Pond Skimming Championships, après after-dark parties and base area giveaways.

You also have the option of publishing a professional paper in the International Journal of Data Science and/or providing a 20 minute presentation in Vail. The International Journal of Data Science is calling for data science related papers. Submit on or before April 11, 2014. Email in regular .pdf format or LaTeX .pdf format to: papers@datascienceassn.org.

You can ski during the day and conference/network in the morning and night. The snow is great and plentiful this year and the gondola and ski lifts within a stones throw of hotel. That weekend in Vail there is scheduled a number of free outdoor concerts. Other activities include cross country skiing - snowmobiling - dog sledding - sleigh rides - snow tubing - snowshoeing - ski bikes - ice skating - swimming and ice climbing.

We negotiated a very low-cost (for Vail) group rate for members and the entire trip is tax deductible! Different room sizes and pricing options if you want to bring a spouse, significant other or the family. Friday night reception and Saturday and Sunday breakfast is included in package price.

We look forward to seeing you in Vail! Register now.

Sincerely,

Data Science Association Team
