We are delighted to have welcomed new and old members of the International Population Data Linkage Network (IPDLN) to our 2024 conference in Chicago. As we discovered, hosting a conference is no small feat, and we are indebted to our colleagues across the globe who pitched in for the abstract review process and who shared their guidance and time in conference planning. Over 500 abstracts were submitted from which 256 were invited for oral presentations and panel discussions. Another 96 posters were accepted, along with 77 rapid-fire presentations. Through partnership with the International Journal of Population Data Science (IJPDS), we are publishing these abstracts to share the rich and diverse contributions from the conference with a wider audience. 

Thank you to everyone for making the conference such a success, and for sharing your wisdom and scholarship with us! To stay up to date on IPDLN, visit www.ipdln.org.
