The Fairmont, Washington, D.C.

Draft Program
The 2008 Kauffman Symposium on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Data has four main purposes:
- To encourage discussion on incremental steps to improve data collection efforts, governmental and private;
- To provide a broad perspective on the importance of governmental and private data in serving research needs and driving better policy;
- To highlight the increase in entrepreneurship and innovation data available for research, as well as the need for continued improvements; and
- To amplify the voices of those proposing specific changes through intensive support, critique, and shared infrastructure.
The 2008 Data Symposium will bring together more than 150 representatives from statistical offices, academia, and other interested individuals to discuss specific proposals for tangible improvements. Program highlights include:
- Twenty-four proposals presented on how to advance our understanding of entrepreneurship and innovation through leveraging data collection tools and methodologies.
- Luncheon presented in partnership with the National Science Foundation and the Conference Board featuring a panel discussion on developing new research data sets to advance understanding of entrepreneurship and innovation. Moderated by Dr. Robert Litan, Kauffman Foundation, and with confirmed panelists Dr. Gail Fosler, the Conference Board; Dr. David Lightfoot, National Science Foundation; and Dr. Gail Pesyna, Sloan Foundation; as well as invited (but unconfirmed) keynote speaker Senator Jeff Bingaman.
- An update on progress made since the 2007 National Academies publication "Understanding Business Dynamics: An Integrated Data System for America's Future," as well as the 2008 Department of Commerce publication "Innovation Measurement: Tracking the State of Innovation in the American Economy."
