This is a firm deadline. It will not be extended. Results will be distributed to all participants via the ASA Industry Intelligence Report portal by not later than May 15. We recognize that no single deadline works for all companies, and we want to encourage as many companies as possible to participate to the greatest extent that they can. Therefore, we want to emphasize that you should answer only the questions that you can, and it’s okay to leave blank those responses for which information is not available by the participation deadline.
