International Conference on Establishment Statistics VI

RTI International has been invited to present several papers and demonstrations at the American Statistical Association’s sixth International Conference on Establishment Statistics (ICES). The conference is once again going digital, allowing attendees the flexibility to catch all the sessions that pique their interest. Presenters in this conference bring insights and solutions from statistical issues that affected their businesses, academic and government institutions, and more, building an ever-deeper knowledge bank in the realms of data visualization, conceptualization, data collection, analysis, and dissemination. As a proud sponsor of the event, we are thrilled to have a large presence on the program. See below or visit the conference program for our schedule, and visit us at our virtual exhibit during the event. 

We hope you will join us for some ICES VI trivia from 3:45 PM to 5:00 PM ET on the last day of the conference to wind down, network, and win prizes.
