This conference provides applied demographers with a unique opportunity to participate in a conference designed to showcase applied demography, strengthen professional networks, and bring the applied demography community together. This conference will be held virtually in February 2026. Call for papers is now available. Submission deadline extended!

We seek participation from anyone whose work intersects with population studies, whether in the academic, government, non-profit, or private sector, and at all levels of seniority. Does your work or field of study relate to counting or characterizing populations, or generating/using population data to make decisions? If "Yes" to any of these, then this conference is for you.
