Blaise Conferences
The International Blaise Users Conference (IBUC) is an international event focused on the use of Blaise and associated software. The conference includes 3 days of presentations with emphasis on the implementation and application of Blaise in a computer assisted interviewing (CAI) environment. The conference is organised roughly each 18 months and it currently alternates between Europe and North America. The conference is the most visible activity of the International Blaise User Group (IBUG). More information, such as conference papers, related to IBUC conferences is available on their site.
The first IBUC was held in Voorburg, The Netherlands, in 1992. Following conferences were held in London, Helsinki, Paris, Lillehammer, Kinsale, Washington, Copenhagen, Gatineau, Papendal, Annapolis and Riga. The 13th IBUC conference, the IBUC 2010 took place on October 19 to 21, 2010 in Baltimore, Maryland USA. It has been organized and hosted by the Westat, Inc.
