The Channel Network Conference is a biennial conference organized by the International Biometric Society (IBS) channel network. The channel network comprises the Belgian, French, British & Irish, and Dutch regions of the IBS. This conference gathers statisticians, mathematicians, and data scientists to discuss the latest methodology for the analysis of data in the biosciences, including agriculture, biomedical science, environmental science, and allied disciplines. It is a 3-day conference with short courses, invited and contributed sessions. Usually, around 150 researchers from both academia and industry participate in the conference. In 2023, the Dutch region will host the conference in lovely Wageningen, the Netherlands.
