2002 Economic Census Conference Slide-Lectures
The Census Bureau conducted 44 conferences and hands-on workshops
for data users on the 2002 Economic Census during the summer of
2005. That series is now complete, but the training materials used
are available for self-study.

Presentation materials for your own use
If you were unable to attend one of our conferences, or would like to
incorporate census materials in your own presentations, you may wish to
download slides (9mb .ppt) or view
the narrative (2.5mb .pdf) from a recent 2002 Economic Census presentation
in Ohio, or access the list of presentations below.
Some of the same content can also be viewed in an interactive
slide show in html.
While the Ohio presentation is the latest, you can use geographic and
data examples from the state-specific presentations.
