2018 has been a fruitful year for Sample Solutions in terms of presenting at conferences and workshop events within the Market and Opinion Research Industry. From sharing our most recent research solutions at the Comparative Survey Design and Implementation (CSDI) workshop in Limerick, Ireland in late March, to attending on AAPOR’s (American Association for Public Opinion Research) 73rd Annual Conference held in late May in Denver, Colorado. The outputs of both these experiences left a lasting impact on us, from the new insights and expertise obtained on the various panel discussions, workshops and presentations through the many generated ideas that came as a results from networking with many skilled delegates from the academia, government and industry.
In 2019, Sample Solutions continues to participate in industry conferences and workshops in order to keep up with the newest trends that are surfacing within this industry, but also to present it’s newest scientific white papers on sampling for Opinion Polling and B2B research.
That being said, we are happy to announce that, we’ll be presenting our newest research entitled “Data Collection Mode Change: Going from F2F to CATI – The case of Greece” during the first block of the session for “Methodology” at this year’s CSDI workshop, which will take place in Warsaw, Poland from 18th to 20th of March.
This May, we’ll be attending the 73rd AAPOR Conference, however we are delighted for the opportunity to present the paper at it’s sister’s event – the Annual WAPOR (World Association for Public Opinion Research) conference, which will be held right after the AAPOR conference in the same city – Toronto, Ontario from 19th to 21st May.
Going back to the European side of Survey Research, we are happy to announce that we’ll be presenting two papers during the 8th European Survey Research Association (ESRA) conference in Zagreb, Croatia from 15th to 19th of July.
The first paper is about our recent work for sampling general European population entitled: “Surveying European cities: the use of landline RDD sample and a list-assisted mobile sample, enriched with geographic information” on the block session “Representation error: Linking sampling design and fieldwork practices”. While the second presentation will be on B2B research sampling, about our newest sampling solution entitled “Using Big Data to decrease coverage – error and sample bias in European Establishment Surveys” during the block session “Business surveys and the changing data environment – how can we know best about businesses?”.
We are looking forward to meeting experts from public opinion research, data research and the survey industry, as well to the many discussions that will be fueled by the topics and presentations held at these industry events.
