DESTINATION
The logo for ICOTS 12 represents part of the Brisbane River (Maiwar) as it winds through Brisbane (Meanjin), and represents both the continuity of the statistics education community and navigating the complexities of statistics and data science education. The dot represents the location of the conference venue, the world class Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre in Brisbane’s South Bank. Brisbane lies between the Sunshine and Gold Coasts to the north and south, and Moreton Bay and the D’Aguilar Ranges to the east and west.
