Delvinia and Schlesinger Group are proudly partnering to put on Amplify: 24 Hour Global Insights Summit from November 12-13. This free virtual event will run for 24 hours continuously, broken into 4 blocks catering to different regions of the world with speakers to match: the Americas, Australia/New Zealand, Asia, and the UK/Europe.
Each block will have an opening and closing keynote, 5 technology demos, and 15 breakout sessions. The breakout sessions fall under 3 categories: Consumer Insights & Innovation, Connecting in a New World, and Adaptability & Growth. Each block will also have a Mentor Minutes session – 5 mentees get to meet with 5 senior industry leaders for 5 minutes of mentorship each. Whether the mentees are early in their careers, making a career change, or running a new business they will gain valuable guidance from the Mentors.
The speakers for the sessions come from a variety of fields, expanding the way we think about data and insights and how they can be used to improve any business or organization. Presenters include the CMO from one of the top financial institutions in North America, a cross-cultural consultant helping businesses with their cultural intelligence, or an expert from Australia in consumer listening and how it improves business. And these are just a small taste of what’s on offer.
Finally, to keep you engaged and to make this an event that truly gives back, for every person who attends 2 sessions or more we will be donating $10 to the Market Research Education Foundation.
