Welcome: Martin Catala, 2017 Conference Chair

Opening Keynote Address: New Directions for Census Bureau Data Dissemination and Products
A key innovation area for the Census Bureau is improving and enhancing access to statistical and geospatial data, including the ability to combine data from a variety of demographic, economic, and geospatial data sets. In this presentation, I will discuss several relatively new products that combine data to improve access to and utility of statistical and geospatial data as well as what is on the horizon for data access and dissemination. Combining data across datasets, however, has presented challenges due to different geographic concepts and definitions, different universes, and different vintages. I will discuss some of the challenges we have encountered as well as efforts to address those challenges.
