WELCOME TO THE PREVIEW OF THE 2019 BROOKLYN QUIRK’S EVENT! Since 1986, Quirk’s Media has been dedicated to promoting the understanding, use and value of marketing research and customer INSIDE... insights across all industries by delivering a wide range of free resources for marketing research professionals, from our magazine and e-newsletter to our Webinars and directories of research product and service providers. In 2015, after seeing the need for a low-cost, inclusive conference for marketing researchers, we held the first-ever Quirk’s Event in Brooklyn, N.Y., a gathering that has sold out of exhibitor and attendee space every year since. To keep costs low for attendees and exhibitors alike, we eliminated the keynote speakers and sit-down luncheons of other industry events. By making it affordable for everyone, the goal is to maximize attendance and provide the most inclusive marketing research experience with the best ROI for all. This year, in addition to Brooklyn (March 5-6), we have expanded The Quirk’s Event schedule to include gatherings in London (February 12-13) and Chicago (April 2-3). The Quirk’s Event is a two-day experience, packed with more than 70 30-minute education and learning sessions delivered by client-side researchers or research vendors (sometimes both!) on a range of topics, from case studies and explorations of best practices to deep dives on specific Great tips for methods or techniques.
