Transforming Research Together
Join RTI International at the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) 78th annual conference being held in Philadelphia, PA, May 10-12. Last year, we came together for the first in-person AAPOR conference since 2019 to discuss disrupting public opinion research in the pursuit of equity and inclusion. This year, we are excited to explore the theme of “Working Together: The Essential Role of Public Opinion Research in Collaborative Science.” RTI experts will be attending and presenting on a wide range of topics from innovations in data collection and survey methods to how we can integrate equity and inclusion into social science research.
AAPOR is the leading association of public opinion and survey research professionals, comprised of members of academia, the media, government, non-profit, and private sector industries. For over 60 years, RTI has been a member of AAPOR and many of our experts serve on AAPOR committees.
Bring a colleague to Booth 307/309 to face off in a Family Feud style challenge and collaborate on how we can work together to address challenges, conduct high-quality survey research, and hear all voices from the communities we are measuring. View the full schedule of RTI experts’ presentations and sessions below to plan for this year’s conference.
