The conference was first held under the auspices of the Planning And Statistics Division of the War Production Board at Princeton University in December 1945, with one of the participants being Dr. W. Edwards Deming. Dr. Deming remained a major participant and the conference was renamed in his honor after his death. The purpose of the three-day Deming Conference on Applied Statistics and the following two parallel two-day short courses is to provide a learning experience on recent developments in statistical methodologies. The conference is composed of twelve three-hour tutorials on current statistical topics of interest. Recognized experts in the field of applied statistics will be invited to give the lectures and short courses based on their recently published books. The conference makes these books available for sale to its attendees at an appreciable discount. Attendees receive bound proceedings of the conference presentations. The full program will be available on the web site on June 1. The conference will be held in the recently built state-of-the-art Havana Tower of the Tropicana Casino Resort whose shops and dining experiences mimic the atmosphere of Old Havana.
