Please join us for the 2026 WNAR/IMS annual meeting in Pullman, WA at Washington State University, Sunday, June 14 through Wednesday, June 17.
Washington State University in Pullman offers a beautiful summer setting for a conference, combining the energy of a vibrant campus with the charm of the surrounding Palouse region. Warm, sunny days highlight the rolling hills of wheat fields that create one of the most picturesque landscapes in the Pacific Northwest. Attendees can enjoy strolls through WSU’s scenic campus, visit the renowned Bear Center or the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, and experience the lively downtown Pullman with its local shops and eateries. Just beyond Pullman, opportunities abound for outdoor recreation, from hiking and biking trails to nearby rivers and lakes, making it an ideal destination where academic engagement meets the natural beauty and hospitality of Eastern Washington.
Program highlights include:
- Short Courses
- President Invited Presentation
- Invited Oral Sessions
- Contributed Oral Sessions
- Student Paper Sessions
- Welcome Reception
- Banquet

Donation requests to support the WNAR Expanding Opportunities Workshop: Due to current and unexpected federal funding cuts, WNAR is seeking donations to our newly developed Expanding Opportunities Workshop. The 2026 WNAR Expanding Opportunities Workshop (June 13-June 14) is a satellite workshop held in conjunction with WNAR, emphasizing the importance of mentorship and belonging in quantitative fields. The workshop will connect high school and undergraduate students with professional (bio)statisticians and data scientists in academia, government, and industry. It is organized by the WNAR Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) Committee and the WNAR Leadership Committee. A donation option is included in the WNAR 2026 registration form. Those who wish to donate separately to the workshop may use the donation box on https://wnar.org/Donate or email wnar@wnar.org. Thank you for your support!
