ISCB organises an annual scientific meeting which members and non-members are able to attend. The main objective of the annual scientific meetings is to create an opportunity for the exchange of knowledge, experiences and ideas among clinicians, statisticians and members of other disciplines, such as epidemiologists, clinical chemists and clinical pharmacologists, working or interested in the field of clinical biostatistics.

The scientific meetings cover a broad spectrum of biostatistical and regularly issues, includes sessions on the design and analysis of clinical trials, epidemiology and statistical methodology, as well as from time to time considering more specialist issues such as, for example, education of biometricians and biometric users, pharmacokinetics, medical data-bases and pharmaco-epidemiology. Each meeting includes a mini-symposium devoted to a particular medical or statistical field.

Previous meetings in recent years have been held in Szeged (2005), Geneva (2006), Alexandroupolis (2007), Copenhagen (2008), and Prague (2009). A selection of talks at the meetings, for which papers are submitted for review and which are eventually accepted, are published in Statistics in Medicine.

The annual meeting in 2010 will be in Montpellier, France, from 29th August - 2nd September. Read more about it here
