StanCon Proposal
Thank you for your interest in organizing an upcoming StanCon! Guidelines for organizing the event can be found at https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/call-for-stancon-2024/33005. This form gives you an opportunity to address these guidelines.

The Stan Governing Body reviews proposals to select venues for future StanCons (in 2024 and beyond). 

Any event organized under the umbrella of Stan must abide by the Stan Code of Conduct.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to board@mc-stan.org.

Describe why you are interested in hosting a StanCon and  provide reasons why you expect your StanCon to be successful. *
StanCon is organized by a committee of ~5 people. Please list members of your committee. Indicate if each organizer is local, and confirmed or tentative. You do not need to have 5 organizers at this point, but you should have one confirmed local organizer. *
StanCon brings together both veteran Stan users and new users. How would the proposed location attract veterans and new users?
How accessible is the proposed location? Briefly describe how a participants (national or international) would travel to the location.
What type of accommodation would be available near the proposed venue? Is there affordable housing for more junior participants and recipients of scholarships?
What sources of funding, in addition to the revenue generated by tickets, do you anticipate? Are there (local) sponsors who would be interested in funding StanCon?

What support does the local institution provide (in of terms funding, access to lecture rooms, etc.)?

Funding helps us keep the ticket prices down and offer scholarships which cover registration and (potentially) travel costs.
Do you plan to provide online content? 

This can include (i) recording of talks which are uploaded after the conference and become freely available, and (ii) a streaming option for participants who cannot travel in person to the conference (such participants would still need to purchase an online ticket).
A copy of your responses will be emailed to .
