November 16-20.
This year we held the conference virtually due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 restrictions. Thank You to all the attendees and presenters!
Each of the sessions was an individual webinars that were about 1 hour and 15 minutes long. The sessions were held throughout the week. Some of the sessions were on UNM Zoom while others were hosted on the Census Bureau's WebEx platform.
