Sabermetrics, Scouting, and the Science of Baseball–or Saberseminar, for short–is a charity conference that brings together baseball fans, sabermetricians, data scientists, and MLB front office personnel. Over a weekend in August (this year, Aug. 29-30) at the Illinois Tech campus in Chicago, some of the game’s best researchers, coaches, students, doctors, and scientists congregate to meet, share the latest findings, maybe attend a baseball game and hang out. Last year, Saberseminar featured talks from Minnesota Twins VP of Baseball Operations and Strategy Josh Kalk, Chicago White Sox Performance Science Analyst Joe Wilson, and Baseball Prospectus authors Stephen Sutton-Brown and Maddie Landis, among many others. Several authors from Baseball Prospectus will be in attendance and discussing their research as well.

All proceeds from Saberseminar go to charity causes like the Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation. Tickets are heavily discounted for students and scholarships are also available for students from underrepresented backgrounds. Buy tickets early at a discount rate or consider submitting an abstract to give a talk at the conference; any baseball-related research or topic is welcome!
