Dear Conference Participant – NARSC is delighted that you will be joining us in New Orleans, LA for the 2024 North American Meetings of the Regional Science Association International (RSAI). Every year, NARSC signs a contract with a hotel to serve as the venue for the conference. As part of the contract, NARSC promises to fill a certain number of room nights. If we fail to fill our contracted room block, NARSC must pay the full nightly cost of each unfilled room. This is the reason why we offer a discounted rate for conference participants who stay at the conference hotel. More information about how to book a room at the conference hotel is available on this page.
Individuals who are members of RSAI, also receive discounted registration. This is one of the benefits of RSAI membership. If you are unsure about your RSAI membership status you can check it by looking at the RSAI Members List which can be found here.
You can pay for the conference using a credit card via our secure registration portal. This is the same page where you submitted your abstract.
Workshop: Spatial Data Analysis with PySAL
A unique feature of this tutorial is the use of Python based software tools for spatial data analysis and spatial econometrics. Python is an object oriented scripting language that is gaining rapid adoption in the computational sciences. Since its initial release in July 2010, PySAL has been downloaded over 1.7 million times. This two-part tutorial will first provide participants with an introduction to Python and related tools for exploratory spatial data analysis. In the second part of the tutorial the focus is on spatial econometric methods in PySAL.
For more information, download the workshop description.
The workshop will be held on Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at the New Orleans Marriott Hotel. NARSC conference attendee rate is $150, non-conference attendee is $300.
