The 16th Summer Working Group on Model-Based Clustering will be held in Paris, July 19-25, 2009. The sessions will be at the Institut Henri Poincaré, and accomodation will be at the École des Mines nearby, in the Quartier Latin in the center of Paris. This will be sponsored by the Société Française de Statistique. The organizing committee this year consists of Avner Bar-Hen, Gilles Celeux, Chris Fraley, Brendan Murphy and Adrian Raftery.
It will start with an opening social event on Sunday July 19, sessions in the mornings Monday-Friday July 20-24, and a hike on Saturday July 25.
