Description:
At its biannual conference the International Association for Official Statistics is focusing on ways of ensuring that statistics reach a wide audience, maximising their use and demonstrating their value. The conference is open to all with an interest in official statistics and has five themes: 1. Statistical story telling: examples from the financial markets; demystifying the numbers; beyond data visualisation 2. Enhancing information access: using statistical frameworks; data without boundaries; public sector information 3. New information media: wikis; mashups; the third sector 4. Marketing and customer focus: examples from Japan, Mexico, and Abu Dhabi 5. Statistical literacy: a variety of experiences from across the world. We will have debates on the open data movement; the competitive playing field for official statistics; using statistics for decision making; the role of social media, and the impact on trust. This is an invaluable opportunity to hear about the latest approaches for dissemination and for networking.
