APDU Conference: Call for Proposals

We are inviting proposals to present at the 2018 APDU Annual Conference on any topic relating to public data, whether based on a particular project, data practice, or formal paper. In keeping with the theme of the conference, our interest is in the ways that changes in public data, research techniques, and other advances will impact the way decisions are made in both the public and private sectors.

Changes to the ACS

The Census Bureau has announced its intention to revise the American Community Survey for 2019. Please consider submitting a comment if you have any concerns.

Building the Case for Public Statistics

In uncertain times, we need evidence. Federal statistics are a vital source. Researchers, businesses, governments, and nonprofits rely on this data, and we need to do a better job of telling policymakers that investment in data is important. APDU is pleased to announce a workshop that will give stakeholders in federal statistics the tools they need to educate policymakers on the value of their data.
