posit::conf(2026) is outta here! 👋 From Wes McKinney's AI keynote to Quarto slides, Shiny apps, & termite colonies, Day 2 was radical. Share your photos and reflections with the hashtag #PositConf2026 ❤️ See you in Seattle Sept 13-15 for posit::conf(2027). Until then, keep it real!

A speaker wearing glasses, a black t-shirt, and dark jeans stands on a brightly lit stage during a presentation. Behind him, a large textured wall is illuminated in warm orange light, displaying white text that reads "posit conf(2026)". The silhouettes of audience members are visible in the dark foreground.

A crowded conference hall filled with people sitting at round tables during a lunch or networking session. Feather banners with numbers and the phrase "Birds of a Feather" mark different table sections throughout the room. In the foreground, several attendees are seated around a circular table with plates of food and drinks, engaged in conversation.

A woman wearing a pink conference t-shirt and a man with glasses leaning over a small round table at an event booth. The woman is holding a smartphone and smiling while looking at it with the man. On the table sits an open laptop facing away from the camera, along with small promotional materials. In the background, a large dark blue banner displays branding for "Posit Assistant" and "Positron" along with the text "Work as fast as you think."

Generative AI makes a confident-looking answer easy. Making the same answer reproducible is the hard part. Analysis should be inspectable: your data, your code, your environment, a record anyone can rerun. Prove it with Posit: posit.co/prove-it?utm_source=bluesk…

What an incredible workshop day at posit::conf(2026)! 🚀 Now, Day 1 kicks off with @simonpcouch.com and @sara-altman.bsky.social’s keynote: "Correct, reproducible, and transparent data agents"! So excited to connect with the #RStats and #Python communities! What sessions do you look forward to?

A wide view from the back of a large, dimly lit conference hall filled with an audience seated at round tables. At the front, a main stage features a bright green background with white text reading "posit::conf(2023)" and a speaker standing on stage. Two large screens flank the stage, displaying presentation slides about conference guidelines with text like "Respect everyone's space" and visual badges. Overhead, the hall features intricate ceiling architecture with recessed lighting and stage rigs.

The branding prominently reads "posit conf (2026)" in white text, featuring graphics of two people working on laptops, a retro computer illustration displaying the text "we make great things," and small pink icons at the top. The background shows a carpeted venue lobby with round cocktail tables and high ceilings.
