O-Bayes09, the 2009 International Workshop on Objective Bayes Methodology will take place on June 5-9th 2009 at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.

The principal objectives of O-Bayes09 are to facilitate the exchange of recent research developments in objective Bayes methodology, to provide opportunities for new researchers to shine, and to establish new collaborations and partnerships that will channel efforts into pending problems and open new directions for further study. O-Bayes09 will also serve to further crystallize objective Bayes methodology as an established area for statistical research.

The workshop will consist of a tutorial session, a series of invited talks followed by discussion and a poster session dedicated to contributed work.
