IISA 2026 INVITED SESSION SUBMISSION FORM
We have now stopped accepting invited session proposals. Please contact president@intindstat.org and iisa2026@intindstat.org with any queries.
- We are pleased to announce that the 2026 IISA Conference will be held at Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi, from December 26–30, 2026. The conference website is https://www.intindstat.org/conference2026/index (under construction). Please check this website regularly, since it is frequently updated with new information and additional details.
- We are currently accepting invited session proposals. Please propose invited sessions using this form: https://forms.gle/rFwrgQVCAJwZqM4y8. You can organize an Invited-Rapid (I-R) or an Invited-Topical (I-T) session using this form, and you may use this form repeatedly to submit multiple session proposals. The I-R sessions are for rapid dissemination of recent breakthroughs in different frontiers of statistics and data science, and have a high probability of being accepted. The I-T sessions are for detailed exposition of ideas and research progress on topics relevant for this conference.
- You need 3 speakers for each session proposal, and you yourself can be a speaker. You need to obtain consent from each person before proposing their names as potential speakers in any session. All invited speakers are required to pay the full registration fee; one person can give only one talk in the entire conference, and students are not allowed in invited sessions. Speakers who fail to register by the early-bird deadline (August 1, 2026) will be removed from the program; no exceptions can be made.
- The deadline for submitting an invited session proposal is May 15, 2026. The above form is for submitting invited session proposals only. If you want to submit a contributed talk or poster, please wait till we post the form for that. If you are interested in organizing panel discussions, or presenting short courses, or have any questions or comments, please contact us at iisa2026@intindstat.org.
- We look forward to welcoming all of you to Varanasi on December 26-30, 2026, for the IISA-2026 conference!
