If you were unable to attend, but still would like to watch the presentations, check out the R Consortium YouTube Channel<\/a>. If you visit the playlist tab, they have videos from other conferences and presentations hosted by the R Consortium.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Although networking is encouraged at this conference, I would like to share some additional networking resources and opportunities for data professionals. I heard about various R communities, such as R Ladies, Py Ladies, Data Latam, and the Data Science Hangout. Attendees of the R\/Medicine conference raved about these communities. While many of the networking opportunities are virtual, there may be opportunities to meet with your fellow community members in your area.<\/p>\n After the conference, I attended my first virtual Data Science Hangout on May 21st. This is a weekly community call for anyone who works with data. There are new speakers from a variety of institutions who talk about their work and their experiences in this field. The virtual chatroom is very active and full of welcoming community members. You can check the upcoming speakers on the Data Science Hangout webpage<\/a>. There is also a Discord server for the community to connect. After the Data Science Hangout ended, the conversation continued in the community server.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I would like to thank the R\/Medicine community for welcoming new attendees, accepting users of all skill levels, and introducing me to additional R communities and resources outside the conference. I am very grateful to have other lifelong learners in my circle while I continue to develop how I use R in my work.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 2026 R\/Medicine conference took place virtually from June 5th to June 8th. This conference provides a live space for sharing R-based tools and approaches to analyze and gain insights from health data.
