The 2008 MIS Conference was a concentrated 3 days of information about best practices, innovative ideas, current issues, and practical how-to advice about management information systems for K-12 education.

Co-sponsored by the California Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the MIS Conference brought together the people who work with information collection, management, transmittal, and reporting in school districts and state education agencies.

Over the past 21 years, a state education agency has partnered annually with NCES to bring local, state, and national data professionals together to learn from one another in an informal setting. This year, the MIS Conference offered more than 80 presentations, demonstrations, and workshops conducted by practitioners from K-12 information systems.

The major focus of this MIS conference was on data use, data standards, statewide data systems, and data quality.
