Abstracts are due January 14, 2015.

 

This conference will be held one week before the TRB Planning Applications conference, so I know this is likely to cause low interest in this. Nonetheless, I hope that some transportation and especially CTPP data users will be able to participate in this conference.  Several MPOs participated last time and we had a nice lunch together.  It is highly unlikely that I can attend because of travel budget limitations. 

 

I encourage you to consider submitting an abstract.   It is always good to document the transportation applications of ACS to a non-transportation audience, and to get the attention of Census Bureau staff, even if they might have to participate via web!

2nd Annual ACS Data Users Conference


May 11-13, 2015
College Park Marriott Hotel and Conference Center
College Park, MD

Call for Abstracts!
Deadline: Jan. 14, 2015
Acceptance Notification Date: Feb. 20, 2015
 

The second annual American Community Survey (ACS) Data Users Conference will bring together ACS data users and staff from the U.S. Census Bureau to increase understanding of the value and utility of ACS data and to promote information sharing among data users about key ACS data issues and applications. The conference will include contributed presentations by ACS data users, invited sessions, hands-on training, and opportunities for networking.

We are inviting abstracts on any topic relating to ACS data issues and applications, but we are especially interested in new and innovative uses of ACS data, and ACS applications that inform policy and business decisions. For examples of presentation topics from the May 2014 inaugural ACS Data Users Conference, review the program.

To submit an abstract, visit www.acsdatausers.org. Registration for the conference will open in early 2015 and will be free for all conference presenters and participants.

Please forward this announcement to others who may be interested.
