2019 Fall Conference
Rising to the Challenge:
Engaging Diverse Perspectives on Issues and Evidence
November 7 - 9, 2019 | Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel | Denver, CO
As our 41st annual meeting, the APPAM 2019 Fall Research Conference will be a multi-disciplinary research conference attracting the highest quality research on a wide variety of important current and emerging policy and management issues. The current political context underscores the value of bringing together researchers and practitioners with a wide range of perspectives to engage the evidence and discuss how best to improve public policy. We hope that the theme, Rising to the Challenge: Engaging Diverse Perspectives on the Issues and Evidence, will encourage a conference with conversations that reach across disciplinary, methodological and ideological divides.
This conversation will take place across 300+ educational programs in a variety of formats, including panels, roundtables, poster presentations, super sessions and special events. Read our interview with APPAM President-Elect Maria Cancian for more about the role that diversity will play in the conference.
