The First Historical Analysis Annual Conference (HAAC) is done

The First Historical Analysis Annual Conference (HAAC) is done. It ran from 27-29 September of last week. Planning has started for the second one.

I do want to thank all the people who took their time to come and present. We did have 30 presentations by 22 speakers and two good group discussions. We did follow the schedule: Schedule for the Historical Analysis Annual Conference (HAAC), 27-29 September 2022 – update 16 | Mystics & Statistics (dupuyinstitute.org). Only two presentations were not done: Artillery Suppression and Urban Warfare on Day 2 in the Einstein Conference Room.  Maybe next year.

I do want to thank all the people who helped me with the conference: Shawn Woodford, Roger Kaplan, Stiles Peabody, Joe Follansbee and especially the hard-working multi-talented Jay Karamales. Also, would like to thank Brandon Barr and the staff of Intelligent Office for their gracious support.

We will be hosting the second HAAC sometime in October 2023, either 3-5 October, 10-12 October, or 17-19 October. Have not settled on a date yet. October 9 is a U.S. federal holiday, so debating if we should schedule the conference just before the three-day weekend, just after it, or a week after it. I am already building the schedule for 2023, so looking for presentations for next year.

We did record most of the presentations. Because of other work, it may take me a few weeks before I can review them and make a decision on their disposition. Nothing will be published without the permission of the participants.

We are talking about two conferences in 2024, one in the United Kingdom.
