Save the date! The first edition of the Canadian Conference on Teaching Statistics (CanCOTS 2025) will be hosted by HEC Montréal from Wednesday, June 11 to Thursday, June 12, 2025, in downtown Montréal. More information is available on the conference website at https://cancots.netlify.app/en/. 

CanCOTS will be a participant-driven working meeting in the style of a curated "unconference." After an initial roundtable aimed at engaging participants with state-of-the-art literature, the participants will split in small groups, each working on a priority area of interest. These priority areas will be short-listed before the meeting, so participants can arrive already having an idea of what they may want to collaboratively contribute to with their time, and can bring potential resources to share with the group. 

Each small group will define and, at the end of the meeting, leave with concrete deliverables, either in progress or completed. Depending on the priority area, these deliverables could be in the form of conference proceeding papers or less traditional formats (e.g., banks of exercises, guidelines for curriculum, sample learning activities, and assessment items, etc.) 

At this stage, we would like to hear from prospective participants to gauge interest, select priority areas of interest and identify team leaders. Please fill this form https://forms.gle/mddWQ1vru8jxVkmk6. Registration will open in March.
