REPORTING AND DISSEMINATION PRACTICES
Friday 21st April 2006
Imperial College, London
LAST CALL FOR PAPERS
The Association for Survey Computing is organising a conference on the topic of
'Delivering Results'. This one day event will focus primarily on what happens to
data after collection and initial/intermediate processing. We are particularly
keen in investigating how information is communicated by those conductingthe
research to the clients that have commissioned the work, the stakeholdersor
even the public that will view the results.
Topics will include, but are not limited to:
* Presenting Findings – Static PowerPoint and PDF presentations versus
interactive reporting and analysis tools
* Establishing Context – Relating survey results to other existing data, such as
Census, Geodemographics & Mapping information
* Portals & Dashboards – Presenting results on-line and interactively
* Preparation, communication and presentation of performance data in the public
sector
* Communication of Complex Information – From mystery shopping data to
hierarchical continuous studies – How do you communicate and target thefindings
of surveys?
In organising this one day event, we hope to answer some fundamental questions
about what normally constitutes the final event in the survey lifecycle :
* How do we currently approach the delivery of results?
* Why do work in this way?
* What innovations lie ahead in the future for delivery of findings?
We welcome case studies of current or past projects, demonstrations of existing
solutions or overviews of the delivery and communication process in general.

exhibitors should be sent the ASC Administrator at the address below BY FEB 1, 2006.
