SPONSORED Training Session by Zappistore | Automation 101 in Latam, by Zappi
Q&A with the world’s most innovative research automation company in the worldGabriel Velez [ZappiStore]; Julio Franco [ZappiStore]
Through the power of automation, Zappi does away with the long-winded manual processes of traditional market research, such as survey scripting, data collection, and visualisation. It unlocks the capacity for cost-effective, high-quality testing at every stage of a user's creative journey; marketers and researchers alike are free to spend more time strategising.
In this Q&A Session, we will confront the common roadblocks and questions that arise when we speak of automation, intelligence augmentation, or machine learning in market research. We hope Latin American companies will share the lessons we’ve learned and embrace the full benefits of automation.

SPONSORED Training Session by Fine Research | The Future of Healthcare
Diego Casaravilla [Fine Research]
Healthcare is expected to go under significant transformations in the future.
But which trends would dominate this future? How would the medical profession change? What kind of technologies will impact most and what would be the potential consequences to all of us?
Will be the future dominated by genetically adjusted drugs, virtual consultation, robotic and/or nanotechnology?
To answer these queries we surveyed over 2,600 practicing doctors in 17 countries in the Americas from Canada to Argentina, to learn their predictions, as well as their fears and hopes, and to help us to reflect together how would this impact us, as future researchers.

LATINOVATION Award Winner - Predicting Shopper Behavior to Win at Retail
Capture behavioral insights in a realistic and competitive purchase contextSuyvan Ley [GfK]
Winner of LATINOVATION AWARD 2017
Using virtual shopping environments to understand shopper behavior. Based on a new virtual simulation platform (GfK SIMSTORE) and innovative research methodologies we are able to understand the perception and intuition of shoppers, and therefore the whole purchase decision process.
Evaluation of new packaging design, pricing strategy or e-commerce optimization, are some key business question that we are solving faster today. Through virtual simulations, we are also helping customers to optimize the assortment of brands in the category to maximize their market share, to obtain decision trees at sku's level or to evaluate different category planograms for both manufacturers and retailers.
Winner of the AAM Mercurio de Oro 2017 - "Estás para algo dulce, estás para un Danette" - a 360 campaign born in a 360 listening
Justo Saenz [Danone]
Winner of the AAM Mercurio de Oro 2017
2016 was coming to an end but in Danette we had no reasons to celebrate. Since 2013 the brand had decreased 23% its volume and 26% its penetration. As we knew consumers still loved our products we revised our communication. For 3 years we had been talking about Danette as a family sharing product, both tasty and kind of healthy. After 6 months of combining traditional market research with deep social network listening we achieved a much better understanding of Danette’s positioning in sweet-cravers life, turned over our communication strategy, executed a 360 campaign born in Twitter and grew +34%.
