Join us for a day discussing the "now and next" of data.
This year's conference will feature opening remarks and a Q&A with Federal Reserve Board Governor Christopher J. Waller and include four panel discussions:
- Generative AI. Brian Quistorff, Chief Data Scientist at Bureau of Economic Analysis, will facilitate a conversation with business and academic economists about how to leverage generative artificial intelligence to find, interpret and communicate economic data.
- Trusted Data. Erica Groshen, former Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner, will lead a conversation with public and private data providers about the importance of trusting the accuracy, transparency, timeliness and provenance of data.
- Storytelling. Dan Rosenheck, data editor at The Economist, will facilitate a conversation around the dos-and-dont's of telling stories with numbers.
- Accessibility. Nick Hart, president and CEO of Data Foundation, will lead a conversation with private and public chief data strategists about how to put data in the hands of both novice and expert audiences and users.
