BIG IDEAS. REAL-WORLD SOLUTIONS. FEBRUARY 23-24, 2016 CE New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge PERIEN X E LEGACY SPONSOR Virtu al Re GET CONNECTED! VR ality Lab 4MR TM We’re priming you for bright ideas right now using Challenge your nonconscious ERIENC XP E Hear Collette Eccleston, PhD discuss The Notion of Emotion Tuesday at 10:00AM E Learn More VR 4MR TM LEGACY SPONSOR Welcome to the second annual Quirk’s Event! We are excited to have you here. It’s a sellout – thanks to all of you! If you are new to the event, you will quickly notice that it is different from other research industry gatherings. To keep costs down and make the event more inclusive, we’ve trimmed or downsized some standard conference features such as expensive keynote speakers and bland luncheons. We haven’t deemphasized the features you’ve told us matter most: education and networking. The center of the event is the expo hall. With 100+ leading companies and associations from all facets of the industry, the expo hall is a great place to learn about all of the latest offerings. Make sure you explore the space, as exhibitors are delivering some great experiences. A complete list of all the experiences can be found starting on page 6. We also have 85 educational workshops and more than 40 hours of learning! The sessions cover a wide range of topics and are focused on providing practical information that you can implement quickly. The sessions are also just 30 minutes long to ensure that speakers keep their presentations targeted and concise. All speakers have agreed to the Q-Mandments – Quirk’s guidelines for presenting an educational and engaging session. Look for the list of Q-Mandments in each session room. Lastly, the event is designed with networking opportunities in mind. The Quirk’s Connect app gives you important event information and lets you network with all participants at the event. Visit page 62 for more information, or use the QR codes on the cover and page 4. Morning and afternoon breaks, along with a 90-minute lunch, allow time to connect with colleagues. Also, join us for Cocktails with Quirk’s in the expo hall on Tuesday night for tasty appetizers and creative drinks. Afterwards, keep the evening going with the MR Jam Session presented by Beta Research Corporation. (Information on all networking events can be found on page 62.) As with all of our endeavors, we couldn’t have done it without the support of our sponsors, exhibitors and speakers! Their time and effort have made this event possible – so our thanks go out to them! We are proud to announce that in 2017 we will be expanding The Quirk’s Event to the West Coast. The West Coast show will be in Orange County in late February with the East Coast event taking place in mid-March. We want to make The Quirk’s Event a regular occurrence and a regular part of your ongoing efforts to learn and grow as marketing research and insights professionals, so please let me know your thoughts on how we can improve your experience here.
