The topics presented included among others tests adjusting for multiplicity, biomarker-enrichment trials, subgroup selection methodology, or sample size re-estimation. Now not so secretive, the scientific program of the conference consisted of 7 sessions: 3 on multiple testing procedures and 4 on adaptive designs. I was told that these annual meetings started as a kind of mysterious get-togethers in the Austrian Alps, where brilliant minds wrote articles that developed the basis of this field. Such small size of the workshop made you really feel that you were a part of the group and it allowed you to get to know other researchers. We didn’t have to feel overwhelmed with the amount of presentations and a huge number of attendees. I particularly liked that the relatively small number of participants provided an optimal platform for valuable communication. The workshop was a small event, with only a couple of dozens of participants which I think was a good choice for the first conference attended as IDEAS researchers, since it gave us the opportunity to tell others about our projects and the network we are part of. Its main purpose was to gather researchers from both industry and academia to showcase their work and create synergies between them in a 2-day workshop. The workshop was the annual meeting for the Adaptive Designs and Multiple Testing Procedures Joint Working Group (Section) of the Austro-Swiss region (ROeS) and the German Region of the International Biometric Society. Il caffè è un’arte (coffee is art), the first thing you do when arriving in Italy is get one of those hearty and tiny espressos Just half an hour away from the more well-known tourist-packed Venezia (don’t forget the Italian accent while reading), Padova is host of the university that carries the name of the city and you can see there many students riding their bikes which will give anybody that goes there a young and sporty feeling. Last week, some of us had the chance to attend the Adaptive Designs and Multiple Testing Procedures Workshop 2016 that took place in the beautiful Padova (read it with an Italian accent to sound more authentic). In this post, we will tell you about our first experience in a conference as IDEAS researchers. You also need those skills that will lead you to walk successfully through networking during the coffee break. But be warned, it is not all about the math in talks.
