Abstract
Very few studies are available that examine annual meetings of professional organizations. Over the years, the Executive Board of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences (ACJS) has discussed the problem of "no-shows," individuals who have papers accepted for presentation at the ACJS annual meeting but do not show up to present their papers. In order to test several assumptions regarding attendance and participation, a short survey was administered to panel chairs at the 1997 ACJS annual meeting. Results of the survey were mixed. The most notable finding involved the effect of the day of the panel on preconference cancellations, no-shows, and attendance. Several recommendations are offered to improve attendance and participation at future meetings.
