5. RESEARCH WITHOUT BOUNDARIES
DELEGATES
The audience at international APRC Conferences is large and this year we are expecting up to 300 delegates to attend. The research industry is evolving and our audience will reflect that changing landscape. Our programme has been designed to bring together people from a diverse range of backgrounds.
The audience is expected to comprise professionals from around the Asia Pacific region and beyond including Senior Qualitative and Quantitative Researchers, Company Directors, Field Team Leaders, Independent Contractors, Strategic Planners, Research and Insight Managers, Consultants and Clients from a broad range of industries.
RESEARCH WITHOUT BOUNDARIES
We live in an age where the traditional social, political, technological and financial boundaries are fast becoming irrelevant. For businesses and governments this rapid rate of change presents both valuable opportunities and significant challenges. Successful businesses are adapting to the new normal and creating exciting new opportunities for innovation and growth.
What does this mean for businesses operating in NZ and the wider Asia-Pacific region? What does it mean for research agencies and their clients? Find out at this year’s APRC Conference how clients are prospering and how the research profession is expanding its own boundaries to better meet the needs of these organisations.
You will hear from a diverse range of organisations that are at the forefront of change, and how they are dealing with the changing business environment and busting through boundaries to create customer value and competitive advantage.
You will hear from some of New Zealand’s leading protagonists driving their organisations forward into new frontiers for growth.
And you will gain a rich understanding of how they uncover insights and generate innovations that have led to multi-million dollar opportunities in new sectors and new markets, pushing past their own traditional boundaries.
