49th Annual Conference
Friday, November 22 – Saturday, November 23, 2024
Embassy Suites Chicago Downtown (600 N. State Street)
“Bridging Trends from our Past with Insights for Tomorrow”
Our conference will focus on two important issues facing public opinion research in 2024 – the 2024 election and the acceleration of artificial intelligence. We will explore public opinion trends on social and political issues to understand the election and the key issues that affected the outcome. We will also consider how the rise in artificial intelligence may affect our field and how we collect, analyze and report public opinion data.
