Hi All
Myself, Erik Brynjolfsson and Sandy Pentland are very excited to announce that the first _/Conference on Digital Experimentation (CODE) @ MIT/_ will take place this October 10-11, 2014 at the Sloan School of Management!
Details of the event can be found at:Â www.codecon.net http://www.codecon.net/.
The ability to rapidly deploy micro-level randomized experiments at population scale is, in our view, one of the most significant innovations in modern social science. When appropriately theorized and rigorously applied, randomized experiments are the gold standard of causal inference and a cornerstone of effective policy. But the scale and complexity of these experiments also create scientific and statistical challenges for design and inference.Â
The purpose of the Conference on Digital Experimentation at MIT (CODE) is to bring together leading researchers conducting and analyzing large scale randomized experiments in digitally mediated social and economic environments, in various scientific disciplines including economics, computer science and sociology, in order to lay the foundation for ongoing relationships and to build a lasting multidisciplinary research community.
We have assembled an amazing group of invited speakers from both industry and academia who have been thinking about and leading the way in the realm of digital experimentation.
Invited Speakers Include:
Eric Anderson, Kellogg Alessandro Aquisti, CMU Susan Athey, Stanford Esther Duflo, MIT Eric Horvitz, Microsoft Jeremy Howard, Kaggle Ron Kohavi, Microsoft Karim Lakhani, Harvard John Langford, Microsoft David Lazer, Northeastern Sendhil Mullainathan, Harvard Claudia Perlich, Distillery David Reiley, Google Hal Varian, Google Dan Wagner, Civis Duncan Watts, Microsoft
Participants will be selected based on submissions of 3-page extended abstracts. _Please submit an extended abstract of no more than 3 pages to Susan Young (info@codecon.net mailto:info@codecon.net) by August 15th_.
_Abstracts will be evaluated as they are submitted and evaluation will continue until the program is filled. Space is limited, so interested researchers should submit their abstracts as soon as possible_.
Authors of accepted abstracts will be _notified by September 1st_ and will be expected to submit a _final version_ in Microsoft Word format not to exceed 5 pages, including references and figures, _by September 12th_. Accepted abstracts will be distributed as informal working notes. Members of the press may attend the event and be present during presentations, so please take this into account when choosing the work you submit.
_Key Dates_:
Workshop: October 10-11, 2014 Abstract Submission Deadline: August 15, 2014 Notification to Authors: September 1, 2014 Final Abstract Submission: September 12, 2014 Early Registration Deadline: September 19, 2014 Onsite Registration: October 10, 2014

Please submit your best work on Digital Experiments Soon!
Warm regards
