CONFERENCE SCHEDULE:
Wednesday, March 20 - President's Reception (poolside)
The IMPACT Conference for 2019 is a spring conference offered by the Insights Association, New England Chapter. This is a full day conference.
This event is still being planned. We are currently doing our call for presenters:
The Many Facets of Qualitative Research
A joint event of the Philadelphia Chapters of the Insights Association & the Qualitative Research Consultants Association
According to the International Gem Society, facets all play specific roles in a gem’s optical performance. When expertly cut, facets not only create beautiful patterns on the gem, they also help it shine.
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.
PLUS: Vote on who takes home the 2019 BEST PAPER AWARD, party with our local Chicago Chapter and choose the winner of the annual Shark Tank competition, where the latest and greatest solutions battle it out.
