AAPOR 82nd Annual Conference

AAPOR 2027, Innovation with Purpose: Advancing the Science of Public Opinion Research in the Era of AI, Automation, and Scale, will explore how our field can embrace rapid technological change while remaining grounded in the scientific rigor, transparency, and trust that have defined AAPOR for more than eight decades.

As artificial intelligence, automation, new data sources, and emerging technologies reshape how we collect, analyze, and understand public opinion, the opportunities for innovation are significant—but so are the questions. This year’s conference will bring our community together to examine what’s changing, what we’re learning, and how we can harness new tools and approaches with purpose while strengthening the science at the heart of our work.

Join the public opinion and survey research community in Austin, May 12–14, for three days of learning, connection, and conversation about where our field is headed—and the role we can play in shaping what comes next.

Why Attend AAPOR 2027?
  • Explore how AI, automation, and emerging technologies are transforming public opinion and survey research.
