STAT's annual conference, CAST, truly explored new frontiers in 2018, and our members' excitement and passion for learning was — as always — inspiring. If you missed CAST this year or simply need a boost of inspiration, please take a moment to watch the CAST Recap video (below) and browse the CAST 2018 photo gallery.
