Welcome to New Orleans and the 72nd annual conference of the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR). We appreciate your participation and contributions at this premier event for public opinion and survey research professionals. Our theme, Embracing Change and Diversity in Public Opinion and Social Science Research, signals AAPOR’s willingness to welcome both the challenges and opportunities presented by a rapidly changing public opinion and research methodology landscape and an increasingly diverse population. We received a record number of proposals during the submission process, leading to a record number of sessions. Prepare to hear talks on the latest, cutting-edge research on data collection, emerging methods and innovations, sampling, questionnaire design, interviewing, and methods to increase survey participation as well as substantive findings from public opinion researchers on immigration, climate change, health, race, gender and religion. In addition, an unprecedented number of sessions focus on issues related to the election and polling, ensuring this conference stands at the forefront of scholarship and debate on the 2016 vote. And while you make use of the enhanced AAPOR Conference App to select sessions, be sure to note the many other featured events we are offering this year including: • A kick-off session on “Assessing the Climate for Surveys and Social Science Data Collection: A Conversation” in which featured speakers will ignite discussion on critical issues facing our profession; • 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 delicious New Orleans- inspired cuisine; • Many other social, educational and professional development opportunities such as a workshop on unconscious bias, events for first-time attendees, students and young professionals, short courses, ResearchHack 3.0, “Meet the Authors” and activities designed to infuse New Orleans into the conference.
