This is to announce the 5th Annual St. Louis Area Methods Meeting, 
which will take place on April 27, 2012 at Washington University in St. 
Louis.  SLAMM! is located conveniently and centrally between Boston and 
San Diego with plenty of parking in-between.  We have a terrific program 
lined up, http://polisci.wustl.edu/node/434, and expect this year's 
meeting to build on our past successes.  Our speakers will be Kosuke Imai 
(Princeton), Jake Bowers (Illinois), and Jacob Montgomery (WashU).  In 
addition, our evening social event will be at SALT (http://enjoysalt.com) 
in the lively Central West End.

This year the meeting is supported internally by the Department of 
Political Science, the Weidenbaum Center, the Center for Empirical 
Research in the Law, the Center for New Institutional Social Sciences, 
some faculty in the department, and externally by the Society for 
Political Methodology.  All contributors will be thanked at the start of 
the meeting.

As in past years attendance is free, but you must register by March 1 to 
attend so that we can plan meeting rooms and meals.  To register go to 
http://polisci.wustl.edu/node/432.  After March 1 we may be able to 
accommodate more attendees, but then the cost will be $160/person for this 
late registration.

We hope to see many of you there.  More details will be sent to registered 
participants in March, including hotel and transportation details. Please 
email me if you have any questions.
