Given that the conference is based in the US, @annafralberts suggested we use the newly released http://usafacts.org/ database. Looking through it, we noticed that the sources are not directly linked and that it might be an interested exercise to crowdsource the links to the public data sources: https://www.usafacts.org/sources
