Navigating the Data Revolution: Innovations and Impact in Modern Statistics

The State Data Agency (Statistics Lithuania) and the International Association for Official Statistics (IAOS) warmly welcome you to the website of the 20th IAOS Conference, which will take place from May 12 to 14, 2026, in Vilnius, Lithuania.

The Conference theme Navigating the Data Revolution: Innovations and Impact in Modern Statistics, chosen to highlight the transformative era we are living in, reflects how data is now generated at an unprecedented scale and speed. This revolution offers vast opportunities as well as complex challenges for statisticians, data scientists, and policymakers.

The theme underscores the crucial role of modern statistical methods in extracting meaningful insights, guiding decisions, and driving innovation across disciplines.

By focusing on both innovation and impact, the IAOS 2026 Vilnius Conference will explore how advances in statistics are reshaping research, industry, and society — and why staying at the forefront of this evolution is more important than ever.

We look forward to welcoming you to Vilnius for an inspiring exchange of ideas, where the city's vibrant culture and history will provide the perfect backdrop for discussions about the future of statistics.
