R-Ladies Meetup Dinner

In the beginning of July this year, the largest user conference for the statistical software environment R – useR! 2024 (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/user/) – will take place. For the first time in almost 20 years, this conference will be held again in Austria, specifically in Salzburg. As part of the social program for R-Ladies, we would like to host a welcoming event. Join us during a nice informal dinner in a traditional Salburger location. Engage in informal conversation with R-Ladies from all over the world and get to know the speakers of the useR conference.

Cost: Entrance and participation are FREE. Participation is NOT limited to conference attendees! Food and drinks are to be paid separately (registered participants will be informed about the options).

Registration is required.

R-Ladies is an organisation that promotes gender diversity in the R community worldwide. We are pro-actively inclusive of queer, trans, and all minority identities, with additional sensitivity to intersectional identities.

• Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment.
• Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names.

R-Ladies prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. The Global Leadership Team will not act on complaints regarding:

• ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’.
• Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you.”
• Communicating in a ’tone’ you don’t find congenial.
• Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions.
