On behalf of the Statistical Society of Australia and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, the organising committee invite you to attend the joint Australian Statistical Conference & IMS Annual Meeting, to be held 7–10 July, 2014, at the Australian Technology Park in Sydney, Australia.

Delegates from all areas of statistics will join with world class Australian and international statisticians and mathematicians to benefit from the excellent opportunities for presentations on a wide range of topics recognizing the role that statistics plays in all aspects of modern life.

The conference objectives are to:
• attract world class statisticians to share their knowledge and expertise,
• inform delegates about new work and developments in statistics, probability and mathematical statistics,
• provide an opportunity for professionals from all of these areas to network, present and discuss ideas.
