Preparations are now underway for the organization of the 11th National Convention on Statistics (NCS) by the Philippine Statistical System (PSS), which is spearheaded by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB). The NCS is an event conducted regularly every three years based on NSCB Resolution No. 6, Series of 2000. The NCS aims to: a) provide a forum for exchanging ideas and experiences in the field of statistics and for discussing recent statistical developments and prevailing issues and problems of the PSS, and (b) elicit the cooperation and support of statisticians and professionals in related fields from the government, academe and private sector towards a more responsive statistical system.

The 10th NCS held on October 1-2, 2007 drew a record attendance of 904 participants from the government, academe and the private sector. It featured two plenary sessions, 28 sessions for invited papers, 13 sessions for contributed papers and two panel discussions, for a total of 116 papers presented. Also part of the 10th NCS was the Student Faculty Conference organized by the UP Los Baños Institute of Statistics and UP Diliman School of Statistics, with 43 papers presented. Likewise, a Lecture on Sample Surveys by the Philippine Statistical Association (PSA) and a Statistical Information Management Exhibition (SIMEX) were conducted in the 10th NCS.
