- Digitizing Demography – hosted by Facebook and our guest blogger Michael Corey.
- The Hackathon at UC Berkeley – hosted by Wisconsite Alex Hanna. Get together and code all night long.
- Junior Theory Symposium – hang out with the cool kids!
Please put links to more ASA pre-conferences in the comments.

Three of these events new computational sociology, the hackathon and digitizing demography appeal to similar people, but will happen at the same time. Won’t that harm the success of all 3 events? How should a grad student choose?
