Following the very successful in-person satellite conference held in the summer of 2025, the 9th African International Conference (AIC) on Statistics will be held in the vibrant city of Nairobi, Kenya, from June 29 to July 3, 2026. 

This international conference is jointly hosted by Strathmore University (SU), Kenya, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), USA, in partnership with the American Statistical Association (ASA) and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS). The conference is organized through a collaborative effort involving ASA, IMS, Strathmore University, and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at UMBC. 

The 9th AIC will be held under the theme: “Leveraging Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Emerging Analytical Tools in Mathematical Sciences for Development in Africa.” The conference aims to provide an international forum for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to exchange ideas, share recent advances, and foster collaborations that promote the role of mathematical and statistical sciences in addressing development challenges across Africa.
