M2005 Call for Posters
Here's your chance to be recognized by the data mining community for your work in the field. Poster presentations provide an excellent opportunity for data mining practitioners to present their projects in a one-to-one setting and receive professional feedback from leaders in the field of data mining.There will be a session at the conference where we ask all poster authors to make themselves available to conference attendees. Information regarding the time/place of this session will be forwarded as the conference approaches.

What participants say about the M-series:
"The educational content, exchange of ideas, and intellectual environment I found at the conference exceeded my expectations and confirmed SAS' place as the premier data mining conference in the world."
Thad Perry, Ph.D.
Senior Director of Infomatics
"SAS is doing a tremendous service for the data mining community. The conference provides an excellent forum for exchanging ideas and best practices in business and a stage for sharing the latest and best academic research in the field."
Jaideep Srivastava
Professor of Computer Science and Engineering
University of Minnesota
"This was a superb environment - one of the smartest conference venues I have experienced (and I have experienced a lot). The talks went into greater depth than the talks at many such meetings. Many of the talks were particularly valuable in shedding light on different application areas of data mining."
David Hand
Professor and Head of Statistics
Imperial College, London
"This conference is definitely a must. Not only for the information, but for the opportunity it provides to exchange ideas and learn from your colleagues."
Daryl Berry

"The information I got from the presentations was great, and it was nice to talk to and exchange experiences with professionals who are pretty much doing the same thing."
Victor Alonso
