InSites Consulting, previously as Join the Dots, have been supporting MRS events in and around Manchester for over a decade – most notably with the acclaimed Best of Impact series, which presented highlights from each year’s MRS Annual Conference for a northern audience. Hundreds of delegates attended the event during its run at The Lowry in Salford from 2012-2019, and the closing drinks receptions in the venue’s galleries became legendary.
As this year’s Annual Conference, Impact 2022,was a virtual event InSites Consulting were keen to open up a new and unique content window for research and insight professionals in the North – and get colleagues and friends together in-person after the challenges of the pandemic. The MRS North: Awards Showcase will share a selection of winning case studies from the MRS Awards, curated by the team at InSites Consulting and brought together with a keynote from their co-founder Joeri Van den Bergh, a NextGen expert and award-winning speaker himself.
The afternoon of presentations will be hosted at the InSites Consulting offices in central Manchester, but will be broadcast live online too if you want to watch from whichever screen you choose – however, you will have to come along in person to join the happy hour drinks afterwards, which will be the first MRS social event in the region since September 2019!
This event is free for members/Company Partners. Non-members may attend for £25 + VAT.
In-person places for the conference are now FULLY BOOKED.
