About
This year’s National Center for Public Performance (NCPP) Public Performance Conference marks the 11th year the nation’s top government and nonprofit performance professionals and academics will convene to emphasize the use of data to improve the efficiency and efficacy of public services.
Every year, the event brings together the best minds in the professional and academic worlds for two days of networking and discussion on performance measurement, program innovations, best practices and emerging paradigms of public performance. Performance measurement is becoming more and more common across the public and nonprofit sectors. We seek to better understand all of the organizational characteristics that contribute to true data-driven decision making. The conversation will start at the point of measure creation, move on to data collection and analysis, and hopefully end with building cultures of creativity and data appreciation.
Proposal Submission Guidelines
Practitioners and researchers are invited to submit proposals on the application of performance measurement and improvement systems in public and nonprofit organizations, especially:
- Designing relevant performance indicators

- Effectively collecting, storing and reporting performance data
We anticipate tracks in the following areas:
- Innovative Practices in Public & Nonprofit Organizations
- Creating a Culture of Performance
- Open Data and Technology
- Local and County Performance
- State and Federal Performance
- Engaging Citizens
