American Institutes for Research Experts to Present, Sponsor One Day Experience Program, at Annual American Association for Public Opinion Research Conference

Arlington, Va. – Public opinion and survey experts from the American Institutes for Research (AIR) will present several sessions at the 78th annual American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) conference, being held May 10-12, 2023, at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown in Philadelphia.

The conference theme is “Working Together: The Essential Role of Public Opinion Research in Collaborative Science,” and brings together attendees to network with colleagues, learn the latest updates and trends in the field and make new connections.

This year, AIR is also co-sponsoring AAPOR’s One Day Experience program, which allows 25 students from underrepresented backgrounds in the Philadelphia area to attend AAPOR and learn more about the public opinion research field, discover exciting career opportunities, and meet AAPOR members and attendees. AIR staff will have an active role with the students, including serving as docents, attending a welcome breakfast, and sitting with the students during the Presidential Address.

Founded in 1947, AAPOR is the largest professional organization of public opinion and survey research professionals in the U.S. Members come from a variety of fields, including election polling, market research, statistics, research methodology, health related data collection and education. AAPOR seeks to build better public understanding of its members’ work and promote ethical conduct and sound use of survey and public opinion research.

AIR is a Gold conference sponsor and will have an exhibition booth (Booth #305) in the Exhibit Hall. Sessions featuring AIR experts and their work are listed below (all times are Eastern Daylight Time). Learn more about the conference at https://aapor.org/aapor-78th-annual-conference/.
