80th Annual AAPOR Conference
Meet us at AAPOR’s 80th in St. Louis! This year’s theme, “Reshaping Democracy’s Oracle,” will discuss the promises and perils that artificial intelligence (AI) and our information technology landscape have in changing political polling and survey research. Central to this theme is the role of new technologies in understanding voter behavior and an exploration of political polls given 2024 election outcomes around the world.
As a founding member of AAPOR, NORC is proud to continue our long tradition of deep involvement with the association throughout the year. At this year’s conference, we’ll be celebrating the 10th anniversary of AmeriSpeak®, our premier probability-based panel. Launched in 2015 (at AAPOR’s 70th Annual Conference), AmeriSpeak has become a trusted platform for delivering high-quality, representative data that informs decision-making across sectors.
