Administrative Data Research Conference 2025

In June 2025, we were delighted to have hosted the inaugural Administrative Data Research Conference (ADRCon): Data for Public Good at the McCourt School of Public Policy in Washington DC. Hosting a conference is a labor of love that proves the power of community. We are grateful to our colleagues who submitted their work and others who pitched in for the abstract review process. Thank you to the Gates Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for making this gathering possible. We invited speakers for 44 oral presentations across 20 sessions, there were 5 plenaries over the two days. We had 24 posters accepted to the cocktail reception poster session sponsored by Datavant. Our attendees came from public, private and academic institutions and while most were from the United States, we had representation from South Africa, Germany, Canada, Australia, South Korea, and Singapore. 

Thank you to everyone for making the conference such a success, and for sharing your wisdom and scholarship with us! To stay up to date on ADRCon, we will be hosting a webinar series leading up to our next conference in June 2027!
