The Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO) will host the 9th Annual French Conference on Surveys from October 11-14, 2016.  UQO is located in Gatineau just steps from Ottawa.  The region boasts a large francophone and francophile community of statisticians dedicated to the practice of surveys that use the leading edge of recent developments in sampling.  Statistics Canada is only a few hundred metres away as the crow flies, and the Institut de la statistique du Québec is located about 500 km away.

The conference will foster the meeting of scientists from many continents as well as different disciplines in academia, government and industry.
