Vienna Calling

In mid-April Ā Iā€™ll be attending the QRCA Worldwide Qualitative Research Conference in Vienna, Austria. The conference theme is: ā€œLeading Beyond: A Symphony of Transformative Thinking and Discovery.ā€ Global marketing trends and innovative research techniques to apply to my own projects is what Iā€™m especially interested in.

Tip 1: When attending conferences, play an active role. Present, volunteer, lead. While my presentation is earmarked Ā for a future conference, Ā I will be leading the daily Healthy Connections with morning exercise at the nearby Stadtpark. We had +30 participants at the Orlando QRCA Conference and I made memorable personal connections with new colleagues. Future partnerships for sure.

Tip 2: Be clear with yourself about what you want to get out of the conference. For me itā€™s this:

  • How can Insights360 be the Ā U.S. partner to international researchers? What are their needs?
  • How can I participate in more international projects? With my 5 languages, Iā€™d love this!
  • Make personal and professional connections with researchers from 15 countries on 5 continents

UPDATE on INSIGHTS360 DONATION: While Ā in Vienna, Iā€™ll give an Insights360 donation on behalf of my 2015 clients. This donation will go to the refugee nonprofit I worked with last September.

Aufwiedersehen! Bis spater!
