The 2012 British Society for Population Studies (BSPS) 2012 conference will be held at the University of Nottingham 
from 10-12 September. The current call for papers closes on 11 May.
In addition to the usual conference workstream presentations, meetings and networking opportunities, last year’s conference saw the introduction of a training session aimed at Local Authority demographers. Having been very well received, a similar course is planned for this year.
If you are not already a BSPS member you can join here for a small fee (that can be recouped by a discounted conference charge!).

An ONS news release today marks the beginning of a two year consultation exercise into suitable replacements for the Census. The ‘Beyond 2011‘ programme will examine options for producing detailed information about small areas and neighbourhoods that have traditionally been outputs from the census. The first stage, begins today, is a public consultation aimed at understanding user requirements for statistical data in the future.
Consultation documents can be found here (although the document was not available at the time of writing) and the programme team can be contacted by email. Users interested in this work may wish to attend an RSS ‘Looking Beyond 2011′ event being held on 21/10/11.
