We're thrilled to invite you to our first-ever CEO Summit in Canada!

Long a popular forum attracting chief executives from market research companies across the U.S., we're thrilled to bring this unique event north, so it can be enjoyed more conveniently by our friends in Canada.

Tangible solutions to the toughest insights business problems draw leading executives to the CEO Summit each year. But the process of arriving at these conclusions – the thoughtful conversations and challenging peer discussions – is what makes this event so valuable and unlike any other.

Expect the Unexpected – What makes this program as fun as it is educational is the lively banter and unpredictable twists and turns. That's all part of the plan. The execs featured in several sessions are not disclosed – to anyone – until they begin. The result? Spontaneous, genuine dialogue that heads in all directions.

Be challenged and enjoy open, honest and energetic conversations with the brightest the industry has to offer!

Seats are limited and this event is expected to sell out. Secure your place now!

Ideal for: Chief executives of market research and data analytics firms who must stay abreast of global issues and who seek business partnerships to expand their international presence.

How we collect data, extract insights, and communicate discoveries for optimal impact is ever changing. At NEXT, June 13-14 in Chicago, the next iteration of the insights process will be revealed.

Following an extensive peer-review process we have developed a fresh program filled with new concepts, practical information, objective assessment, rigorous research, and actual use cases. Led by expert practitioners, each session will inspire and power more effective, impactful work throughout the entire research, analysis, and insight dissemination process.
