The Southern Association for Public Opinion Research (SAPOR) will hold its 29th annual conference October 7-8, 2010 at
the Holiday Inn Brownstone in Raleigh, North Carolina. On the Wednesday afternoon prior to the conference, October 6,

This year’s conference theme is, “A Decade in Review” and we are excited to announce that our keynote speaker
for this year's conference will be Howard Hogan of the Census Bureau.
We encourage presentations of public opinion or survey data that illustrate important societal trends over
the last decade as well as presentations that evaluate the efficacy of methodological innovations that have
shaped our research over the past decade. Proposals on any topic related to public opinion research, survey research,
or methodology will be considered.

Proposals for the conference should be submitted electronically through the SAPOR
website abstract submission page. Abstracts for papers and posters should
be no more than 300 words and should be submitted by June 30, 2010 for full consideration.
Proposal submissions should have the name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address of the principal author.
Conference Participation
If you are willing to serve as a discussant for one of the sessions, please contact the Conference Committee Chair.
In addition, we are seeking topics of interest (as well as interested parties) for roundtable discussions.
These roundtable discussions provide an intimate setting in which to discuss current issues in public opinion research.
