Conference overview
The 2016 EEOC Research Conference in Washington DC is the third in a series of sessions to present research on a number of EEO-related topics and to generate ideas for future research. Conference attendees are particularly interested in using EEOC data (EEO-1, EEO-4, EEO-5, lawsuits, complaint filings, and so on) and other data sources that can potentially be linked to EEOC data. The conference brings together EEOC and academic scholars, as well as additional experts and practitioners, who have done important research on these topics both using EEOC data and other unique data sources. This year we have added on panels related to “What Works” and “People Analytics” which are not necessarily based on the use of EEOC data, but nonetheless focus on important EEO-related research and timely issues.
