The Pennsylvania State Data Center (PaSDC) is seeking presenters for the 2019 Pennsylvania Data User Conference. The event will be held on Thursday, May 9, at Penn State Harrisburg, 777 W. Harrisburg Pike, Middletown. The annual Data User Conference is a comprehensive single-day forum for research and developments in demographic data.
The PaSDC Data User Conference seeks to educate its audience on the demographic and socioeconomic research and policies affecting Pennsylvania. Past presentations have focused on research themes, community development, innovations in technology, and other data-related topics.
Sessions at the conference are noncommercial and vendor neutral. Under no circumstance should a session be a direct promotion of an organization's product, service, or monetary self-interest. The emphasis should be on the application of the demographic/socioeconomic data, technology, and other data-related topics.
Presentation proposals will be reviewed by the conference planning committee and selections will be made based upon desired topics, flow of content, educational value, and understanding of the content. The conference organizers will set the day and time for each presentation in order to optimize the sequencing and flow of content and tracks. Sessions will end by 4 p.m. on May 9. The PaSDC reserves the right to decline a submission for presentation at the 2019 Pennsylvania Data User Conference.
Team, individual, or panel proposals, which include the proposed topic and a brief description or outline, should be emailed to Jennifer Shultz at jjb131@psu.edu by Tuesday, Feb. 26. All selected presentations will be published in conference publications and on the conference website. The PaSDC will notify all selected speakers by Friday, March 1.
The PaSDC does not pay fees or travel expenses to its speakers. All speakers will receive a complimentary conference registration, including meals. Speakers will be featured in the conference publication and on the conference website. The benefits apply to speakers, but not support staff or colleagues who may accompany the speakers.
