This was the second annual R/Pharma conference, which included keynotes from renowned industry practitioners, key R developers, and leading academics. There were also several full-length presentations as well as a number of shorter, highly-energetic lightning talks. And new this year, pre-conference workshops were offered to the 150 attendees. MetrumRG was honored to deliver three presentations and to support the event again this year by hosting a mixer on Thursday night.
