Expert Line-up of Independent Consultants Announced for MRS Conference
1 February 2006 (London, UK) — The Independent Consultants Group (ICG) revealed today the line-up for their Speed Networking session at the upcoming MRS Conference, Research 2006, to be held at the Barbican in London from March 22-24, 2006. Delegates of the MRS Conference, who are buyers of market research, are invited to a buffet lunch and networking session which will take place in the Hub on the ground floor foyer, level 0, at 1.00pm on Thursday 23rd March.
In a fast moving and fun lunchtime session, buyers of market research will spend 3 minutes each with a number of different consultants. These highly experienced consultants collectively deliver many different research methodologies - qualitative, quantitative, planning etc. - and have expertise in a wide range of consumer and business to business markets, both nationally and internationally. For names and summaries of the expert line-up of research consultants, please visit www.indepconsultants.org
The opportunity to hear from a broad spectrum of market researchers, in a time-efficient manner, proved very popular at last year’s MRS conference, as one participant explained, “It was great fun to do the ‘speed dating’ on a professional level, because there was no pressure to engage in long conversations. It was all very efficient and to the point. There were even a few consultants invited to pitch for a project.”
Says ICG Chairman Tim Williams, “Finding the right person to conduct your company’s research doesn’t have to be a time consuming or tedious process. The ICG is a great access point to find the right consultant with the relevant background experience you need in terms of skill, expertise and sector knowledge. We had such a great turn-out last year that we repeated it again at this year’s MRS Conference – and added more food to the menu as well!”
