The events of the German Statistical Society focus on its annual conference. It is part of the annual Statistical Week held at the end of September together with the Verband Deutscher Städtestatistiker. The annual conference consists of about three main topics as well as a variety of other lecture events and committee meetings. It includes the Gumbel Lecture, the Heinz-Grohmann Lecture and the Young Statisticians Mini-Symposium. The approximately 500 participants of the Statistical Week come from all areas of statistics.

During the Statistical Week, the German Statistical Society holds its annual general meeting. At this meeting, the Executive Board reports on the development of the Society, on new projects, and on the publication program of the Society’s two journals; it also gives an account of the finances. The General Meeting provides an opportunity to articulate opinions and wishes regarding the work of the Board and the Society.
