| SPOTLIGHT ON: Social Events |
|
|
|
The PSI conference is well known for its networking and social elements. There will be plenty of time to mingle in the Exhibitors area during the breaks/lunch and at the Poster session. In addition, we have social events planned for each evening (and the odd morning)! |
|
Welcome Reception Sunday 12th June | 7pm-10pm The Welcome reception is sponsored by Alira Health.
It will be held in the Imagine Bar of the Gothia Towers hotel. The Bar is located on the 29th floor so has spectacular views over Gothenburg. Come and join us for a welcome drink, some nibbles and the first chance to catch up face-to-face with PSI friends and colleagues since 2019. |
|
Morning Run Monday 13th June | 7am
Don’t forget to pack your running shoes! As has become tradition at the PSI conference, some conference attendees plan to go for a run along the canal and round Gothenburg on the Monday morning, leaving Gothia Towers outside the main reception at 7:00 am prompt. |
|
|
Anyone is welcome to join! The pace is mixed so no matter your speed you will have someone to run with. We plan to run just over 3 miles, taking no more than 40 minutes. This is a great way to start the conference and in previous years there have been plenty of opportunities for photos and chatting to your fellow runners. Please note that this is not an official event organised by the conference; runners take part at their own risk. |
|
Monday Evening Social Monday 13th June | 7:45pm-11pm The Monday evening social event is sponsored by Exploristics.
After enjoying the poster presentations and poster session in the conference hotel, join us at the Brewhouse. The riverside venue provides an indoor/outdoor experience and will allow us to enjoy all that the long daylight hours and the Swedish sunshine have to offer. Drinks and street food will be provided at the event. Brewhouse is a short, scenic walk away from Gothia Towers, along the river Gullbergsån. |
|
Conference Gala Dinner Tuesday 14thJune | 7:30pm-1am The Gala Dinner is sponsored by Plus-Project Partnership.
It will be held at Kajskjul 8 (‘Kai Huul 8’ / K8). Kajskjul 8 is a former quay shed located on the waterside in Gothenburg. |
|
|
We will start the evening with a welcome drink at the bar before sitting down for our meal. Depending on your dietary requirements the menu will consist of soup to start (cauliflower or seafood bisque), beef with sweet potato cakes or a chickpea based option as the main course and a strawberry cheesecake for dessert. After eating the dancing can begin and we will be entertained by 2 sessions from an Abba tribute band backed up by a DJ in the breaks. In keeping with the Abba theme 70s costumes are welcome but if that does not appeal dress code will be smart casual. |
|
The Conference App is the online home of all the things an attendee could need when joining us on-site in Gothenburg. The app houses the event agenda so that you can easily plan out your session attendance and locate the correct room to get to. The poster listing will also be viewable so that you can track down posters along our poster wall. The app is also a platform which allows you to ‘shake hands’ with other attendees using your phone, to make connections and build your network whist in attendance. As with previous years, there will be a social wall for you to post your favourite learnings, photos and videos from the conference.
Our exhibitor passport is moving to the app this year as well, so when you interact with a sponsor on their booth, you can receive a code to redeem in-app, and work your way up our leaderboard in the hopes to win a free place at next year’s conference. A full user guide on the app will be sent to all registered delegates with the joining instructions, so do make sure you give that a read and download the app ahead of landing in Gothenburg or arriving at Gothia Towers. |

| Career Young Statisticians, New Starters & Students |
|
|
|
A couple of networking events specifically for people who have not been working in statistics for long and for students are included in the conference programme...
Introduction for students and new starters "Are you a student or new starter at your first PSI conference? Have you come to the conference alone? Not sure which sessions to attend? We are here to help!” On Monday June 13 join Jemma Greenin before the conference begins for the opportunity to find like-minded attendees, ask questions about the sessions and what to expect from the conference.
Career Young Networking Session At lunchtime on Monday June 13 please join the PSI Careers and Academic Liaison Committee (CALC) for a networking session chaired by Jemma Greenin. This session is an opportunity for students and those new to the industry to expand their network. There will be a casual icebreaker for you to meet other new statisticians across the pharmaceutical industry, and the globe, in a relaxed, informal setting. This will also be another great opportunity to find colleagues to attend and discuss sessions with! Look forward to seeing you there! |

A Message from the Conference Chair As always there is a lot of last minute work going on behind the scenes to perfect the last details for the conference. I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who has helped support PSI with speakers, sponsorship, organisation, delegates etc. Creating a conference really is a team effort! I look forward to sharing a drink with you all in Gothenburg.
