 The 2008 Fall Research Conference of the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) will occur in
Los Angeles, CA, from 6-8 November. The theme of the conference is:
The Next Decade - What Are the Big Policy Challenges?
APPAM's Annual Fall Research Conference is a gathering of leaders within the policy analysis and management field.
It has become the preeminent venue for the presentation and discussion of applied public policy and management research, attracting
more than 1000 participants for over 150 sessions across three days of meetings each year. The Program Committee
will organize an agenda that spans the interests and background of APPAM members across all issues areas and
methodologies. This year the conference will be held in Los Angeles and looks to capitalize on the momentum of
recent conferences where APPAM has experienced a record number of attendees and participation on the 150+
sessions. Noteworthy highlights of the 2008 conference will include the David N. Kershaw Award and Prize Lecture, the Public Management Executive Roundtable, the concurrent plenaries,
the Presidential Address, the Poster Session Luncheon, and the many special receptions.
APPAM especially is seeking increased conference participation from among policymakers at all levels of
government and other practitioners who are directly involved in the areas of emphasis within the Fall
Research Conference. APPAM is committed to including a diversity of perspectives on all sessions.
