I am pleased to say we now have a near final programme for our annual Migration Statistics User Forum conference. The conference is being held at the Home Office in London on 15 September. It looks to be a very interesting day and full details are given below.
This day event has been designed to appeal to a wide range of users of migration statistics and relates to the Migration Statistics User Forum’s aims to provide a forum for discussion on migration statistics and to enable users to discuss their needs and use of data and for producers to consult on presentation and changes. It starts with presentations on new developments by the main data providers, followed by user presentations.
Now is the time to register for the event if your are interested in attending. There is no booking fee but to request a place you need to email [log in to unmask] giving your full name, address, daytime contact number, email address (if not the email used) and affiliation.
