Data, Analytics and Statistics Instruction (DASI) is a Specific Interest Group (SIG) within DSI. The primary focus of the DASI SIG is on providing information for and improving education and instruction related to the effective use of data for decision-making. For the 2020 SEDSI Meeting in Charleston, SC, the DASI SIG will have invited sessions, each addressing a particular topic that generally features three or more presenters. The goal of DASI sessions is to engage attendees in current topics of general interest. Sessions generally have time allotted for interactive discussion about the topic. Individuals who want to a part of an invited session are encouraged to e-mail randrews@vcu.edu with a short description of a topic or topics they would be willing to present during a DASI session at SEDSI. The DASI co-chairs will confer and work with those making suggestions to mold the invited sessions for the annual meeting.

As has been indicated, the conference management system does not allow submissions for this SIG.

Francis Marion Hotel
The historic Francis Marion Hotel, named for the Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion, the “Swamp Fox,” has a long tradition of gracious service, elegant accommodations, and hosting splendid banquets and events dating back to its opening in 1924. Built by local investors at a cost of $1.5 million from plans by noted New York architect W.L. Stoddard, the Francis Marion was the largest and grandest hotel in the Carolinas. The 1920s was the Golden Age of railroads, radio and grand hotels, and the Charleston Renaissance was in full bloom and the Francis Marion Hotel was “the place to be”.
Meticulously restored in 1996 with a $12 million National Trust for Historic Preservation award winning restoration, the Francis Marion Hotel now combines 1920’s style and grace with 21st Century comfort and convenience in the heart of historic Charleston on Marion Square. Rising 12 stories, many of the Hotel’s 235 guestrooms and suites offer spectacular views of Charleston’s historic harbor, church steeples and legendary King Street. The Francis Marion Hotel, with its central downtown location, is an easy walk to the antebellum homes, magnificent gardens, antique shops and boutiques, and world-class restaurants.
