Welcome

The rainbowR virtual conference will bring together LGBTQ+ users of R, and their allies, to promote their work and foster connections amongst the community. The conference showcases the diversity of R users as well as the vast possibilities of what you can do in R. We will have an excellent lineup of LGBTQ+ speakers. In addition to talks, we’ll run virtual workshops led by experts, as well as virtual socials where conference participants can meet other R users to connect, share experiences, and unwind.

Who is the conference for?

The conference is for anyone interested in R and/or analysing data to understand LGBTQ+ issues. The majority of speakers and workshop leaders are LGBTQ+, but you do not have to be LGBTQ+ to attend.
