American Association For Public Opinion Research

Provides educational opportunities in survey research for experienced and beginning researchers, journalists and others.

Theme: Public Choices in Changing Times— highlights the tectonic shifts in media technology that have brought unprecedented variety in entertainment and information options, even as they have spawned entirely new means of reaching and cultivating audiences and publics and placed traditional methods of public opinion research in a state of flux.  The conference will feature papers, posters, methodological panels and demonstrations that inform our quest for new theories and methods, and help extend our field’s longstanding commitment to giving voice to the public.

There are regional chapters that have their own conferences and Web sites. See information below about the Southern chapter of the AAPOR.
