Agenda
While many statisticians and programmers are content with a traditional employment setting, others yearn
for the freedom and flexibility that come with being an independent consultant. While this can be a
tremendous benefit, there are many details to consider. This presentation will provide an overview of consulting
as a statistician or programmer. We'll discuss the advantages and disadvantages of consulting, getting
started, finding work, operating your business, and various legal, financial, and logistical issues. The
paper has been recently updated to reflect the new realities of independent consulting in 2021 and
beyond.
We are always looking for speakers for future meetings - please contact us if you are interested in presenting!
Our 2021 1-Day Conference has been postponed to June 9, 2022. Please save the date, and join us then at Schoolcraft College in Livonia!
