R help - May 2007 - Static and dynamic graphics course, July 2007, Salt Lake City

We're pleased to announce a one day course covering static and dynamic
graphics using R, ggplot and GGobi. The course will be held just
before the JSM, on Saturday, 28 July 2007, in Salt Lake City. The
course will be presented by Dianne Cook and Hadley Wickham.

In the course you will learn:

* How to build presentation quality static graphics using the R
package, ggplot. We will cover plot creation and modification, and
discuss the grammar which underlies the package.

* How to explore your data with direct manipulation/dynamic graphics
using GGobi and rggobi. You'll learn the general toolbox, as well
specific approaches for dealing with missing data, supervised
classification, cluster analysis and multivariate longitudinal data
analysis.

Dianne Cook is a full professor at Iowa State University. She has been
an active researcher in the field of interactive and dynamic graphics
for 16 years, and regularly teaches information visualization,
multivariate analysis and data mining.

Hadley Wickham is a PhD student at Iowa State University. He won the
John Chambers Award for statistical computing in 2006 for his work on
ggplot.

Where exactly is the course held?  I guess Salt Lake City is big, so is
it close to the place where the JSM is held or at the other end of
town?  I am considering of coming a day early and to attend the course.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
