Jeff Miller, president of Burke, Inc. and conference co-chair for the 2010 CASRO Panel Conference, said in his opening remarks, "A crisis of confidence has befallen our industry. We are not scientific enough, according to some academics, with not enough reliability. Others accuse us of too much focus on rigor. These are two diametrically opposed points of view, which can't co-exist. We have to pursue both parts. We want to shed light on both of those paths. How can we get better at our craft? We have to be open to new methods."

Here's the recap I wrote of the entire conference for Research. And recaps of selected sessions:

• Online Communities as Research Hubs
• Research Innovation: If the Shoe Fits
• Using Faces of Virtual Researchers in Online Surveys
• Opinion Mining: Text Analytics of Web Content
• Tragedy of the Respondent Commons
• Panels & River Samples Consistent in Behavioral Measurement
