As a member of the BayesComp 2027 conference committee, I would like to share the announcement of the call for invited session proposals for the upcoming BayesComp conference, which will be held in College Station, Texas, on May 18–20, 2027.

The scientific committee is currently soliciting proposals for invited sessions. Each invited session will consist of three speakers, and proposals should focus on timely, important, and broadly engaging topics in Bayesian computation and related areas.

The submission deadline (as of now) for invited session proposals is August 15, 2026.

Proposal form: https://forms.gle/wpYvkkjKGZ5vHqhF6

Additional details are available in the official announcement:

The LOC for BayesComp 2027 is pleased to announce that the next edition of BayesComp will take place in College Station, TX during May 18–20, 2027. The scientific committee is now opening calls for invited sessions. Each invited session will consist of 3 speakers. Proposals should highlight timely, important, and broadly engaging topics in Bayesian computation and related areas. Each speaker may be listed as a speaker in only one invited or contributed session proposal.

Lu is the first author on the Pathfinder paper and continues to do interesting work on Bayesian statistics and computing. Based on what I’ve heard about past BayesComps, the conference should be really interesting.
