Register for the event

RStudio is one of the most popular open source data analysis software for working on data. It is used for data preparation, data cleaning, and data exploration to get insights from various data sources. The free Rstudio conference is a platform for sharing ideas and engaging in discussions about R development. There are two ways to register for the RStudio conference 2022 remotely. First, you can register through the RStudio website by filling out the online form. Second, you can use the RStudio-conf link found in RStudio Connect. Both options are free and allow you to choose your seat from several countries around the world depending on your location. However, if you want to register at your local campus, then there should be a fee.

The keynote

The main keynote is about ‘good practices for applied machine learning, and includes various topics such as ‘model development’, ‘model deployment’, ‘machine learning operations’ (MLOps), ‘data preparation’, ‘feature engineering, and ‘system design’. Further sessions include ‘The Past and Future of shiny’, ‘running shiny without a server, and ‘the future of deep learning in production’ by Winston Chang. The Shiny package for working with Web applications with R can be used without a server. In addition, it allows users to create standalone apps, such as those deployed on a local machine or hosted online.

Attend workshop

A variety of workshops will take place before the main event. These include a data visualization workshop, a course on how to write tidy verse scripts, and a series of tutorials on developing interactive charts and graphs. Schedules can be viewed on website. Those new to R may find it helpful to attend one of our introductory sessions, where they will teach the basics of the tidyverse and R together. They have also included several free open source resources to help you get started.

As ever, there will be sessions covering tips and case studies across an array of R topics, and advice on how companies can work with RStudio’S premium offerings.

Learn from the experts what makes R so powerful for data science and analytics today, and see why it’s poised to be the premiere platform for big data applications tomorrow. With R, you can do everything from build machines to learning models to automate your business processes with simple programming tasks. The three tracks (R Programming, Data Science, and Big Data) feature presentations by leading practitioners and researchers, who will share best practices and techniques for building scalable solutions for your organization. Whether you are new to R or already proficient in data analysis or completely different fields altogether, join the Rstudio conference 2022 for this unique opportunity to explore how R and data science works.

 R Studio has developed a new version of their product called Quarto. Quarto is an open-source project meant to compete with Microsoft. Their goal is to create a WYSIWYG document creation tool that can be used online and offline. Now they have a soft launch version of Quarto out which they will unveil at their upcoming conference.

Multi-lingual data work will be another theme that will be discussed at the conference. There are many other interesting topics like Achieving an easy workflow between R, Python, and SAS from within Rstudio”, the Data Trail program to teach data science skills in communities without access to technology, fine practices for applied machine learning, and many more.

If by any chance you cannot attend the conference virtually or in person, you can always find plenty of recorded videos online.

RStudio’s Scholarships

They offer 50 diversity scholarships to individuals across the globe who are members of a minority group that is underserved by RStudio conferences.
