A great time was had by all at the first StatsBomb Conference held at Stamford Bridge on Friday 11th October.
The two rooms were frequently packed to enjoy presentations that ranged from experienced sports practitioners through to enthusiastic amateurs. The standard was extremely high throughout. As part of the event the research room saw seven presentations from groups and individuals who had been supplied with StatsBomb Data with a view to creating original research.
The papers devised are available here (click the links to download the pdfs), and videos of the presentations are available via our youtube channel. Enjoy! Tom Decroos, Jesse Davis - Interpretable Prediction of Goals in Soccer
