Wednesday 1 April 2009

Census and Geodemographic Group 2009 Conference: European geodemography

The conference will focus on European data, and how analytical techniques such as geodemographics are being used to help organisations understand variation, customers, and markets across Europe.

The conference will consider this from a number of perspectives, ranging from data availability through to business applications, and will help to set an agenda of actions to fill gaps in Europe wide data.

Further details and booking information can be found on the Geodemographic Group 2009 Conference webpage.

Thursday 23 April 2009

Sample of Anonymised Records (SARs) user meeting, Royal Statistical Society, London

This SARs user meeting will provide examples of some of the research uses of 2001 SARs files and provide an opportunity to hear from the Census Offices about their plans for the 2011 Census.

The afternoon will focus on the case for the 2011 SARs and end with an open discussion.

The meeting is free to attend and lunch is provided. More details, including programme and booking information, can be found on the CSSR events page website.

Featuring an event

Contact Census Customer Services if you would like us to feature an event here. Some 6,000 readers receive alerts to new issues of Census News.

Events are featured where they help to promote ONS interests, particularly if ONS is actively involved. There are no hard and fast lines on the inclusion of events, but inclusion of those arranged by commercial organisations may be considered on the balance of usefulness and intended profit.
