FAQs

 

On the cutting edge of the future of our federal statistics, the Association of Public Data Users is focusing its 2012 conference on the future of public data in an environment of increasingly tight budgets and rapidly expanding technologies. 
 
No matter the specific content of your data, rapid changes in access to “big data” are changing the types of information we can capture, and “open data” are creating tremendous new opportunities for marrying available administrative records in ways that were never tried before. 
 
What does this mean for the data sources you care about?  Census, BLS, BEA, or whatever the agency – all are exploring these trends, and you should be here helping data producers as they navigate these uncertain times! 
 
Join us at George Washington University on September 12 and 13 as we begin to cast “The Future of the Federal Statistical System in an Era of Open Government Data.”
