Here we go! We have just completed the webpage for the BayesComp 2027 mirror conference in Aussois, French Alps, and launched the call for contributions.
This meeting mirrors the main BayesComp 2027 conference, held in Texas on the same week. As such, it will broadcast live and delayed sessions from the main conference, including plenary sessions, host local talk and poster sessions (to be broadcasted), and more generally provide an alternative forum for researchers in Bayesian computational statistics who cannot attend BayesComp 2027. As discussed earlier on the ‘Og, and following a debate launched at the ISBA 2024 World Meeting in Venezia, ISBA is now considering mirror (or multi-hub) meetings as a possible way to address accessibility, sustainability, and inclusiveness issues in its scientific meetings.
The scientific committee will select presentations soon after the submission deadline, on 30 November 2026. Note that due to the capacity of the CAES Paul Langevin conference centre in Aussois the number of participants will be capped at 200. (Travel to Aussois by train to Modane is easy, thanks to direct, fast trains from Paris (4h), Torino (1h), and Lyon (2h). And by car if need be, since Modane is the French exit of the Tunnel du Fréjus (aka Traforo Alpino del Fréjus) linking France and Italy, the Italian exit being Bardonecchia.)
