BLS is canceling the Consumer Expenditure Surveys (CE) Microdata Users’ Workshop scheduled for July 16–18, 2025. In its place, BLS will host a 1-day Virtual CE Symposium on July 17, 2025. Researchers who answered the “call for presenters” will have an opportunity to describe their work using the CE Public Use microdata. In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in question-and-answer sessions with researchers and BLS CE staff.
Registrations for those currently registered for the workshop will transfer to the symposium. Further details regarding the Virtual CE Symposium, including registration information, will be posted on the BLS CE website by the end of June.
The event will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams Live Stream, and it is free to attend. However, registration is required.
Key dates
The registration form for the 2025 Symposium is open (due 7/11/25)
