We do surveys all the time. Are we doing them as well as we can? Can we be
even more effective? Our keynote speaker will cover appropriate uses of
surveys and focus groups, strategies for developing effective questions and
avoiding question bias, and tips for boosting response rates. We’re looking
for additional speakers to discuss their practical and innovative
applications of surveys, focus groups, and other information-gathering
techniques.
Have you successfully used a tool or technique to gather information? What
went well? What would you have changed? How did you apply the findings?
Here’s an opportunity to share your experience with your colleagues!
To submit a proposal for a presentation (15-45 minutes), please e-mail
[email protected] by Monday, April 30. The proposal should include
a brief description of your project and how long you’ll need for the
presentation.
We typically have 120 participants attend our October Conferences (please
see The Conference Page ); we
expect similar attendance this year.
