INDUSTRY ALERT: OFFICIAL CALL FOR PRESENTERS

The Institute for International Research (IIR) is currently seeking presenters for:

The producers of The Market Research Event (TMRE) present The Media Insights & Engagement Conference. Like TMRE, this event is grounded in deeply understanding how people behave and what motivates the behavior - and how to make strategic decisions based on the behavior. It is 100% focused on the business value of insights as a strategic partner with visionary talks and illustrative case stories shared .

The event experience will provide information and inspiration around smarter decision making by exploring how consumers are constantly changing how they interact with and engage across media channels, content and delivery systems, now and in the future.

The program's foundation will apply behavior based decision making to uncover new trends, ideas and patterns around navigating content and translating insights into new business opportunities. Focused on multi-platform content creation, delivery, engagement and measurement, this event will be designed around themes focused on how and why people consume content, what drives them to like and share content, the research behind content development, new research techniques, how to prove return on investment and so much more.

We are expecting more than 300 senior-level media research and insights executives from cable, satellite, broadcast, telecommunications, OTT, agencies, research firms and industry thought-leaders with responsibilities in research, insights, programming, sales, marketing, digital and more.
