[Chicago] What Statisticians can learn from Software Engineers talk 27 Oct Noon

[Nick Bennett]

It looks like the talk is actually October 14, not October 27.

A year's membership is $15 and registration with membership is $30,
registration without membership is $35.

I'm signing up for an Chicago ASA membership now!
