Annual single-track conference in New York City run by Lander Analytics (Jared P. Lander), grown out of the New York Open Statistical Programming Meetup (nyhackr); first held 2015. Known as the New York R Conference (NYR, #rstatsnyc; sites rstats.nyc, then rstats.ai). For 2025 it was renamed 'The New York Data Science & AI Conference Presented by Lander Analytics' (site dataconf.ai, which rstats.ai mirrors) 'to reflect our long-time commitment to the larger data science community'. 2020 was virtual (Hopin); 2021-2025 hybrid. Sister events by the same organizer: the Government & Public Sector R Conference (DC R Conference, now the Government Data Science & AI Conference) and a planned Dublin R conference; these are separate and not included here. The X account (formerly @rstatsai) and Bluesky account are the conference's own; YouTube is Lander Analytics' channel, which hosts the talk recordings. No 2026 New York edition had been announced as of Oct 2026 (the conference page still showed 2025).
