Global markets, fierce competition, emerging economies, rapid change, abundant information, revolutionary technology, uncharted frontiers - shifting paradigms. Today is very much 'business as unusual'. |
BE INVOLVED
| If you are involved in any way with opinion or market research, you need to be able to see the bigger picture. ESOMAR membership provides a different and stimulating perspective, connecting experts in citizen, consumer and market insight from a range of sectors and industries. |
BE INTERNATIONAL
| ESOMAR is open to everyone, everywhere in the world. Our diverse membership comprises people from many cultures with different interests and backgrounds. They are active in a wide range of industries, from a variety of professional backgrounds - including research, marketing, advertising and media. All believe high quality research improves the way businesses make decisions. AND STAY AHEAD Our comprehensive programme of industry-specific and themed events has built a strong reputation as the industry flagship. The programme, which takes place in strategic cities around the globe, addresses topics such as the rapid rise and dominance of Asia Pacific, insight as a powerful driver of innovation and the impact of new technologies and digital media. Each year our Annual Congress pushes the boundaries and challenges the status quo. Attendees have the opportunity to think beyond the 'here and now' and focus attention on the cutting edge. |
BE PROFESSIONAL
| Being an ESOMAR member provides credibility and prestige for professional researchers. ESOMAR, the world organisation for enabling better research, into markets, consumers and societies, has promoted the use of a market research professional code since it was founded in 1948. As a member of ESOMAR you demonstrate that, as a professional researcher, you care about consumer protection and want to stay abreast of the latest ethical issues and guidelines for best practice. THE ICC/ESOMAR CODE ESOMAR embodies professional global standards for a worldwide industry. We actively advocate self-regulation and promote a worldwide code of practice. Members agree to abide by the ICC/ESOMAR International Code on Market and Social Research which has been jointly drafted by ESOMAR and the International Chamber of Commerce and is endorsed by professional bodies around the world. |
