post-Bayes workshop at UCL [15 & 16 May 2025]

University College London (UCL) is organising a workshop on post-Bayes inference and asked to post the announcement (despite my feeling that we have not entered the post-Bayes era!). So here it is:
Over the course of two days, they will host eight invited talks from leaders across the post-Bayesian landscape, spanning from PAC Bayes and generalised Bayes to predictive resampling and martingale posteriors. Alongside these, they will host six contributed talks, and a poster session to ignite discussion and innovation in our growing community. The workshop will complement the post-Bayesian seminar series.
Registration is now open, and they are actively accepting talk and poster submissions! (Deadline for submissions: April 11th, 2025.) Travel support for early career researchers will be available and announced closer to the date. See the website for more information. The workshop will take place in Bentham House, UCL, London.
[As a personal aside, we just learned that our proposal for an approximate(ly) Bayes workshop supported by ICMS (Edinburgh) and set on the magical Isle of Skye had been accepted! To be held in Spring 2026!]
bye, Errol Street!
