Professional Statisticians’ Forum (PSF)

The aim of the Professional Statisticians’ Forum

The PSF aims to encourage a sense of community within the professional membership, providing a forum for professional statisticians to discuss aspects of professional development, learning in the workplace, and network with fellow professionals.

The PSF welcomes all those with an interest in the profession of statistics to attend its events.

PSF events

PSF hosts virtual and face-to-face events.  For the convenience of those we aim to reach, virtual meetings will typically be short (no more than 90 mins) and accessible from your work desk.  Face-to-face meetings will usually be held either at our London office or at our Conference.
