We lucked out. This year’s Computer Assisted Reporting Conference is right here in Phoenix, so we’ll be tracking all the sessions for any data tips that pertain to the business beat.

Check back here – on our live blog – for updates and recaps throughout the conference, which runs from March 11-14. From mining the Web for data and stories to finding and using data about banks, we’ll keep tabs on the sessions that will help improve your coverage.

If you can’t make it to Phoenix this week and are bummed about missing a particular session, leave us a comment and we’ll do our best to cover it here. We’ll also provide video from several of the sessions through the conference.
