<p>My abstract was recently accepted for the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.arilamstein.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZXZlbnRicml0ZS5jb20vZS8yMDE3LWFjcy1kYXRhLXVzZXJzLWNvbmZlcmVuY2UtYWNzY29uZjE3LXRpY2tldHMtMzIyNjQzMDk0MTg%3D&feed-stats-url-post-id=5364">2017 ACS Data Users Conference</a>, and on May 12 I will be giving a talk titled <em>Mapping ACS Data in R with Choroplethr</em>. I am looking forward to attending the conference!</p>
<p>For those who don’t know, ACS stands for <em>American Community Survey</em>. If you have taken <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.arilamstein.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL0NlbnN1c01hcHBpbmdDb3Vyc2UuY29t&feed-stats-url-post-id=5364">Learn to Map Census Data in R</a>, or read my blog for a while, you will have heard me talk about this dataset quite a bit!</p>
<p>When building choroplethr I chose to focus on making the software package integrate smoothly with public data sources such as the ACS. While I like to think that I succeeded with that, the fact remains that the ACS is a very complicated dataset, and I don’t have a very sophisticated understanding of it. Attending the ACS Data Users Conference, I hope, will give me additional training and allow me to do much more interesting analyses involving US demographics.</p>
<p>The ACS Data Users Conference is free to attend, and will be held May 11-12 in Alexandria, Virginia. If you are planning to attend, please <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.arilamstein.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hcmlsYW1zdGVpbi5jb20vY29udGFjdC8%3D&feed-stats-url-post-id=5364">contact me</a> so we can arrange to meet!</p>
