We appreciate your participation and contributions at this premier event for public opinion and survey research professionals. This year our conference aspires to Take Survey and Public Opinion and Research to New Heights! And what better setting to do this than in the Mile High City itself! This year we topped AAPOR records for number of abstract submissions and the number of sessions we are offering at the conference. One of the goals for this year’s conference is to help researchers and practitioners alike navigate the ever-changing and evolving landscape of our field. We have included several new offerings this year in hopes of helping you in this endeavor including: • A newly revised Conference app with functionality for easily contacting authors, making paper requests, communicating with fellow conference attendees and more! If you haven’t already downloaded it we’d encourage you to visit the Google or iTunes stores now and search for “AAPOR”; • A plenary session entitled “From the PEAK of Social, Survey and Public Opinion Research: Perception, Evaluation, Analysis and ‘Kollection’” featuring Julia Lane, Regina Nuzzo and Kristen Olson immediately followed by an expanded “New Member and All-Chapter Welcome Mixer and Chef Tasting Party” in which you can make new friends and reunite with old ones while sampling some delicious tastes of the West; • A new offering called the PORTAL track (which stands for Public Opinion Research Training and Learning). Each of the 12 90-minute PORTAL track sessions offers two introductory and accessible talks on new and emerging methods in our field and are organized by substantive track; • A new DEMO session that opens the conference featuring demonstrations from vendors who have various software solutions for the survey and public opinion research process – these sessions are much like enhanced video poster sessions where you can interact with all the vendors in a single area; • A re-imagined Research Hack experience called AAPOR’s Got Talent where the audience and judges vote for the winning idea to be awarded a $5,000 cash prize (and the AAPOR twitter feed wants to know which judge you think is most like “Simon”); • An improved series of Posters Sessions that are grouped by conference track with more floor space for participants and attendees; • Many other social, educational and professional development opportunities such as: a workshop on Mentoring and Developing Mentoring Programs that work; events for first-time attendees, students and young professionals; short courses; “Meet the Authors” and other activities designed to infuse Denver into the conference (including Line Dancing Lessons and a Video and an Old Timey Picture Station!). Located in the heart of the mile high city and situated in “LoDo” (Lower Downtown in Denver speak) the conference hotel sits at the footsteps of a walkable mile-long promenade filled with shopping, bistros and entertainment. There are plenty of opportunities to see the beautiful mountain landscapes and sample some of the best western cuisine Denver has to offer and maybe even Bag a 14er! We can’t wait to see you all in Denver – Let’s Go #AAPOR! Trent D.
