Abstract

The European R Users Meeting (eRum) is an international conference that aims at bringing together users of the R language living in Europe– in the years when the useR! conference is hosted outside of the continent.

The first eRum conference was held in 2016 in Poznan, Poland with around 250 attendees and 20 sessions spanning over 3 days, including more than 80 speakers. Around that time, we also held a smaller conference in Budapest: the first satRday event happened with 25 speakers and almost 200 attendees from 19 countries in 2016.

The eRum 2018 conference is heritage of these two successful conferences: originally planned for 400-500 attendees from all around Europe, we ended up having 450 registrations from 39countries– mostly from Germany and Hungary(15%), Poland, Austria, Netherlands and United Kingdom (10%), many other European countries, and for example Argentina, South Africa and New Zealand as well.
