Call for Participation: Beyond the Numbers Planning Committee

  • 1.  Call for Participation: Beyond the Numbers Planning Committee

    Posted Jan 28, 2022 10:15 AM

    Beyond the Numbers – November 8-10, 2022

    The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis is planning to reconvene its free conference on economic data and information, "Beyond the Numbers," in November 2022. The conference brings together information professionals to improve their understanding of how to find, use, and share economic resources with colleagues, students, and patrons.

    Help us make 2022 the best conference yet by joining our planning committee. The estimated time commitment is 1-2 hours per month until fall of 2022, plus attendance for the full span of the conference. All planning will be done remotely.

    Committee members will serve as the review panel for conference submissions; help promote the conference to diverse economics, business, and data science communities; assist St. Louis Fed staff with keynote speaker selection, catering, and other key conference planning decisions; and serve as on-site hosts and moderators during the conference.  If selected, committee members who are unable to obtain funding from other sources will be reimbursed for usual and customary hotel and airfare expenses.

    Among the most important considerations for this year's conference will be how to design an in-person gathering -- for the first time since the start of the pandemic -- that builds community while anticipating varied individual comfort levels with the return to a traditional conference format. 

    We invite interested librarians and professionals to send a brief email to conference coordinator Scott St. Louis, at Scott.StLouis@stls.frb.org, with a brief bio and 1-2 sentences expressing your interest in participating.

    Warmest regards,

    Scott St. Louis, Adrienne Brennecke, and Katrina Stierholz
    Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
