Impacting Communities Together
Join RTI International at the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) 79th annual conference being held in Atlanta, GA, May 15-17. The AAPOR Annual Conference is the premier forum for the exchange of advances in public opinion and survey research. RTI has been a member of AAPOR for over 60 years, and many of our experts proudly serve on AAPOR committees.
This year, RTI experts will present on a wide range of topics, all with a central focus: How innovative survey and statistical research impacts our communities and creates more equitable outcomes. Join us at Booth 200/202 to speak with our experts and test your knowledge on AAPOR history and survey and statistical science in “Who Wants to Make an Impact”. For every person who participates, RTI will donate to Step Ahead Scholars, a nonprofit organization that provides equitable access to higher education.
We’re excited to discuss the important work of survey research methodology scholars and practitioners through the lens of community impact. View the schedule of RTI experts’ presentations below to plan for this year’s conference.
