The Population Census Conference

The Population Census Conference started in 1971 at the East-West Center (EWC) in Hawaii, USA and has been conducted at intervals of every 1.5 to 2 years. The conferences were held to share experiences and techniques for the collection and use of population census and related statistical information among the countries of Asia, the Pacific and America. Ever since its first conference, this series of conferences has been providing a platform to share knowledge and expertise obtained from planning and conducting censuses in the region over 50 years.

The 33rd Population Census Conference will be held in the United States in 2026. The conference will be co-hosted and organized by the Association of National Census and Statistics Directors of America, Asia and the Pacific (ANCSDAAP) and the United States Census Bureau under the theme, “Innovations and Directions for Improvement of the Next Round of Censuses for Informed Decision-making”
