Overview
We wanted to create a platform exclusively for client-side insights professionals to talk freely and openly about their research challenges and how they're solving them – introducing the second edition of the ESOMAR Client Forum.
Back by popular demand, the Client Forum is you and 50 other likeminded buyers and users of research, discussing the latest industry trends, sharing ideas and of course networking – uninterrupted.
2017's theme explores the impact between different levels of research spend, the methods used and the quality of insights they deliver. Hear from and network with global leading brands like adidas, ING, Facebook, Unilever, Philip Morris, IFF, Sodexo, Orange, Etsy, LG Display, Philips and more!
Thanks to Corporate Member Heineken International, we'll once again find ourselves at the Heineken Experience...ensuring a cold beer (or two!) at the end!
