The IAOS Conferences are special events, bringing together the vibrancy and diversity of the international statistical community, both statistics’ producers and users from different countries around the world. The motto of this year’s conference is "Worthy Information for Challenging Times”. Nowadays the importance of statistics is greater than ever before. The responses of societies and economies to the short and long term consequences of the COVID 19 pandemic are taking place within the challenges of climate change and the international commitments to leave no one behind. Data, and in particular Official Statistics, are key to these responses. Yet with multiple sources and providers, it is often difficult to differentiate the good from the bad, the trustworthy from the unreliable, the relevant from the noise.
