ICES VII Celebration
Unwind and enjoy easy conversation. This reception is the final event, officially bringing the conference to a close.
Registration is now open for the seventh International Conference on Establishment Statistics, taking place June 17–20 in Glasgow, Scotland. This will be the first time the conference is held in the United Kingdom and only the second time it has been held outside North America.
The ICES conferences started in 1993 as an initiative to create a stronger international community focused on establishment statistics—covering statistics relating to businesses, farms, and institutions. Initially on a seven-year cycle, ICES now takes place every four years and is an opportunity to gather with international experts in establishment statistics from international statistical offices, academia, statistical associations, and private businesses. It is a chance to learn about the latest research and practice and to network with colleagues.
UK National Statistician Sir Ian Diamond will open the conference with a keynote. Danny Pfeffermann, an academic with a career at the forefront of developing methods for official statistics, will give the second keynote, and Katherine Jenny Thompson, methodology director in the US Census Bureau Economic Statistical Methods Division, will give the final keynote.
The conference will also offer short courses presented by international experts on the following topics:
- Data privacy
- Seasonal adjustment and time series analysis
- Multiple imputation
- Data science in official statistics
- Electronic questionnaires
There will be parallel sessions covering a range of topics in establishment statistics. This includes invited and contributed sessions and introductory overview lectures—presentations on key topics intended for an audience with little or no experience in those areas.
The intention is for the introductory lectures to lay a foundation for related conference sessions. Topics covered will include new approaches in sampling and estimation, data science, real-time analysis, recent advances in small area estimation, data visualization, and use of big data in price statistics.
Visit the conference website to register. Fees increase after April 15.
