Hosting an Official ASA DataFest
The ASA DataFest organizer must be faculty or staff at an academic institution and NOT a student (undergraduate or graduate). The data and other materials will be provided through the ASA Community, so at least one member of the organizing team must be a member of the ASA. Exceptions can be made under exceptional circumstances. Please contact donnal@amstat.org for more information.
To be an official ASA DataFest, organizers must agree to use the official data set, to abide by a few ground rules, and to hold the event within the date range March 21, 2025 – May 4, 2025. To register your institution’s intent to host a local ASA DataFest event, please register here no later than February 7, 2025. Join us for an ASA DataFest virtual information townhall on January 14, 2025 at 2 pm ET. Register for the townhall here.
