As resources are under continued strain, the Association of Public Data Users (APDU) is bringing the nation’s leading experts on data policy, leaders in health and workforce statistics, champions in academics , and econometricians to the Washington, D.C., area to discuss ways to better innovate with public data.

By focusing this year’s Association of Public Data Users’ conference (taking place Sept. 1-2 in Arlington, VA) on modernization, APDU holds a unique position in the public-data realm to lead discussions about bettering data governance and management. Since data innovations are integral to solving many of society’s needs, APDU’s panelists will address:

  • Giving public data the attention it deserves before policymakers
  • How to work with organizations to educate lawmakers
  • The U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey
  • Technology to meet customer demands for data use
  • New product creation through public data
  • Linking state and federal information systems for better workforce and education development

A full agenda can be found at APDU.org.
