Research masterminds are coming together at The SAMRA Annual Conference this week
This week the Southern African market research industry will reunite after five years to share knowledge and participate in solution-driven workshops. The SAMRA Annual conference will be hosted at the Thaba Eco Hotel in Klipriviersberg, Johannesburg.
The theme for this year’s conference reflects on how the decisions that we make today will influence tomorrow. As an industry, we are driven to advance our business practices through technology and innovation, however, we have a responsibility to do this sustainably for the planet and people.
The conference programme stretches over two days and will be closed on Thursday evening with a gala networking event, while the category winners will be announced and the Soweto Opera Quadro entertain us for the evening.
