The 4th UConn Sports Analytics Symposium (UCSAS) is back in-person on Saturday, Oct. 8, 2022!
While there are many well established sports analytics conferences, they are often not accessible to students due to technical level, cost, or space limitations. UConn, recognized nationally for its teams in sports such as basketball, baseball, and hockey, among others, hosts the USAS which focuses specifically on undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in sports analytics. UCSAS, started in 2019 and organized by the Statistical Data Science Lab at UConn, aims to:
- showcase sports analytics to students at an accessible level;
- train students in data analytics with application to sports data; and
- foster collaboration between academic programs and the sports industry.
This year, we have:
- keynote speakers from Brooklyn Nets and our own business school;
- panel discussion on sports data science competition features student winners from the Big Data Bowl of the NF;
- training workshops offer three levels of sports analytics in Python/R;
- poster session gives opportunities for interactive exchange and networking.
See https://statds.org/events/ucsas2022/program.html for the full program.
The registration deadline is Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2022.
