Notes
Events are grouped by the current date in Atlanta (America/New_York). A dated event stays in the upcoming list through its final day, then moves into Past events automatically. Dates not yet announced remain separate; recurring seminar calendars do not expire.
The directory covers statistics, biostatistics, bioinformatics, ML, AI, and related research, mainly around Atlanta and nearby Georgia. It is selective rather than exhaustive. New announcements and changes are checked against official sources through a scheduled weekly review; these checks are separate from automatic date-based archiving. Consult the linked organizers for the latest dates, venues, registration, and eligibility. Historical entries retain their original edition even if an organizer later reuses its website.
