Data Users Conference set for Nov. 14

The 16th annual New Mexico Data Users Conference is set for Thursday, Nov.
14, at the Central New Mexico Community College Workforce Training Center,
5600 Eagle Rock Ave. NE in Albuquerque.

The annual event is presented by The University of New Mexico’s Bureau of
Business and Economic Research.

The all-day conference is New Mexico’s premier forum for both beginning and
professional data users in the state and surrounding areas. Over the years,
the Data Users Conference has become a valued learning experience for
businesses, government agencies, service organizations, information
providers and students.

This year’s featured plenary speakers include Pauline Nunez from the U.S.
Census Bureau’s Denver regional office and Andy Hait with the Economic
Census, both of whom are excellent resources on census data and products.
Nunez will discuss new products from the Census Bureau and the new features
of its American FactFinder Website.

Additionally, new Bureau of Business and Economic Research Director Jeff
Mitchell and Jack Baker are the featured luncheon speakers. Mitchell, who
took over as director this past summer, will present a review of New
Mexico’s recent economic performance and a short-term economic outlook.

Baker will present how GPS is working to help the Census Bureau manage
spatial data resources and how this should lead to improved demographic
estimates and a successful 2020 census.

Registration is $55 per person and includes all conference materials,
continental breakfast, beverage breaks and a luncheon buffet. For more
information and a registration form, visit http://bber.unm.edu or call
