The International Chinese
Statistical Association (ICSA) would like to invite all
members of statistical community to participate in the 18th annual Applied
Statistics Symposium, on June 21st-24th, 2009, with short courses on June
21st and scientific sessions on June 21st-24th, at SFO Westin Hotel Millbrae, California, USA. The Symposium is promised
to be a rewarding scientific program, with exciting social events,
astonishing natural beauty, delicious food, and pleasant weather.
San Francisco is widely regarded as the top tourist destination in the world
with a wide variety of tourist attractions and activities. To ICSA members,
this is also the birthplace of ICSA, which was founded in 1987 at
the Joint Statistical Meeting here. Representing the diversity and vibrant
San Francisco Bay Area, our local statistical community covers from major
academic research institutions (University of California, Berkeley, San
Francisco, and Davis, and Stanford University), to biotechnology and
pharmaceutical companies (Genentech, Gilead, Chiron, etc.), to financial
institutions (Wells Fargo, Charles Schwab, Franklin Templeton) and to high
tech industries in the Silicon Valley (Google, Yahoo, Intel, etc.).
The SFO Westin
Hotel is conveniently located in Millbrae, the
heart of the Peninsula of the San
Francisco Bay.
It provides easy access to and from all parts of the Bay
Area. A free shuttle will bring you to the San Francisco International
Airport within 5
minutes. BART and CalTrain, which will take you to the downtown of San
Francisco and the center of Silicon Valley,
are within walking distance from the Hotel. If you choose to drive, Highway
101 is next to the Hotel.
Millbrae is gently cradled in
the sun-warmed hills that separate the Pacific Ocean from the San Francisco Bay. The climate is sunny and mild
with an average temperature of 62 F in June. Millbrae offers a diversity of world class
dining as the Bay Area is famous for.
