Saberseminar is the premier baseball and sports statistics conference – and it's all for a good cause! The conference will be held August 24-25 at Illinois Tech in Chicago. The Saberseminar brings together academics, data scientists, and MLB front office staff for a two-day showcase of the latest developments in baseball analytics, and is a great opportunity for researchers to showcase their work in front of an audience of teams and recruiters. It's also a place to connect and build community across the industry, whether it's fans, journalists covering the game, scientists studying it, or office workers. FanGraphs has been a sponsor of Saberseminar for over 10 years, and many members of our staff will be in attendance. Proceeds from the conference support charitable causes such as the Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation and the Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights.
We hope you will consider attending and giving a talk. Tickets are on sale now, and submissions must be made by May 15. Student tickets are greatly discounted and there are special presentation slots available for student talks, as well as two $2,000 scholarships for students from disadvantaged backgrounds. For more information, please visit the conference website. We hope to see you there!
