Beyond Blockchain: Evolving MR Revenue Streams, Global Impact and Industry Value Worldwide
Clint Taylor [Research Data Marketplace Initiative]
There are stark correlations between the ESOMAR 2017 Global Market Research Report and the potential of blockchain technology. Deep consumer understanding requires an increasing number of techniques. Finding great data promotes industry growth. The market is increasingly fragmented with entry of smaller, innovative researchers. Big Data is out; Smart Data is in.
In this session, we will quickly separate blockchain myth and hype from fact. You will hear how blockchain's core architecture can elevate specific ESOMAR core findings to unprecedented levels. Finally, we will discuss how the new blockchain-based RDM Initiative can evolve how the entire industry transacts research data; multiply provider revenue streams; curate the best providers, techniques and data worldwide; reach and mature emerging markets; and become a springboard for waves of innovation we have yet to discover.

Coupling the 'What' and the 'Why' to Deepen Insight - Digital TrackingMark Hallums [Toluna] Demo Lab 1 (Stratocaster C)
Demo Lab 1 (Stratocaster C)
Today's consumers are using an ever-increasing number of digital and social channels and platforms to watch videos and programming content, listen to music, buy products and services, and communicate with others. This is leading to a need for measuring actual behaviours across multiple devices to build a stronger and more accurate reflection of consumers' lives and digital segments.
The future of collecting behavioural insights has moved past the traditional question and answer format to passive data collection. A unique benefit of this move is the ability to measure actual behaviour and marry it with claimed behavior which returns the highest quality insights.

Building the world's intelligence platform and capturing human behaviour at scale
The market research industry has a major problem: big brands don't trust its results. Companies are fed up with claimed behaviour and outdated panels and surveys. But if people around the world shared their thoughts and actions with us, and we were to use AI and machine learning to capture them, in the moment - then couldn't help the world's biggest companies to act like a local start-up and truly understand any market...?
