A call for proposals to host useR! 2021 has been published on the R project web site: https://www.r-project.org/useR-2021_call.html For reasons of sustainability and accessibility we are looking to develop a distributed conference model with one venue hosting the main useR! conference and ?useR! hubs? running in parallel on other continents. This call is for groups wishing to host the main venue. We welcome hosts that are keen to cooperate with us in shaping and developing the new hub model. The deadline for submitting an outline proposal is *Friday 01 November 2019* . On behalf of the R Foundation Martyn Plummer [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
