A large blue graphic promoting "useR! 2025" is shown. The main section on the left details information about the conference: "8 - 10 August 2025," "Penn Pavilion, Duke University," "Durham, North Carolina," and "Hosted by Duke University and Duke Center for Computational Thinking." Below this, there's a notice about ticket sales: "Normal ticket sales will be ending July 15th. Get yours before the price increase!" A table compares "Regular" and "Late & Onsite" prices for "Student," "Academia," and "Industry" tickets. Prices are listed as $200, $450, and $650 for regular, and $250, $550, and $800 for late/onsite. The lower left corner features the "useR! 2025" logo with a bull illustration.

Hadley Wickham (@hadley.nz) is a developer and teacher whose impact on the R ecosystem is immense. He is Chief scientist at @posit.co where he leads the Tidyverse team. His keynote "I wrote this talk with an LLM" explores how AI can help rather than replace data scientists.

A slide for a keynote presentation features a smiling man with a beard and short hair, wearing a shirt with a polka-dot bow tie, in a circular portrait at the top. The word "KEYNOTE" is in the upper left, and the "useR! 2025" logo is in the upper right. Below the portrait, the name "Hadley Wickham" is displayed, followed by "Posit PBC." A gray banner below his name reads, "I wrote this talk with an LLM." The bottom half of the slide contains the abstract for his talk, detailing an exploration of the relationship between data scientists and large language models, specifically how AI assistance can augment the R user's workflow. It notes that the abstract was generated by Claude Sonnet 3.7 and lightly edited.

The image captures a vibrant poster session at the useR! R Conference, held in Salzburg in July 2024. The setting is a spacious conference hall with attendees engaging in discussions around research posters mounted on large display boards. Participants, a mix of data scientists, researchers, and R enthusiasts, are seen standing in small groups, gesturing towards the posters, and exchanging insights. Some individuals are holding conference materials or notebooks, while others are listening attentively to presenters explaining their work. The posters feature graphs, charts, and R code snippets, reflecting cutting-edge developments in R programming for statistical analysis and data science. The atmosphere is collaborative and professional, with attendees dressed in business casual attire. In the background, additional posters and conference branding related to R programming and statistical computing reinforce the theme of the event. The lighting in the room is bright, enhancing visibility and interaction.
