AERA continually seeks to enhance its Annual Meeting, and an important mechanism toward that enhancement is the attendee survey process.

In San Francisco, there will be a random sample of about 350 paper, symposium, roundtable, and poster sessions. Every attendee of those sessions will be invited to take the survey. Those who choose to participate will have their badges scanned, to receive survey questions about the session by email.

The Annual Meeting Policies and Procedures and Research Advisory Joint Committee, as well as AERA Council, asks all attendees of these randomly selected sessions to participate in the survey this year, to better inform decision making about future Annual Meetings.
