Another conference is in the books. The 2018 North Dakota Demographics Conference was a success! Attendees from a broad range of areas, such as non-profit, health, community, education, and government, came together to gain a better understanding of North Dakota demographic and socio-economic trends, in addition to the most recent research, data resources, and tools to help them get inspired to create measurable change throughout North Dakota.

Thank you to fellow conference organizers - North Dakota Department of Commerce Census Office, University of North Dakota Department of Economics, and North Dakota Department of Health. It was another great year of collaboration.

We hope to see you at our next event!
