This will be the first of what we hope will become a series of evening meetings. The focus of the evening will be discussion of an urgent issue facing the research industry today: 'Do we need research now that we have big data?’ In the chair will be Brian Jacobs who will be joined by other industry experts. Audience participation will be very much encouraged. We look forward to seeing you there and, if you can, please bring a guest who might be interested in joining the Network, including those whose work or other commitments make it difficult to attend our lunchtime gatherings.

Ev, a branch of the Tas group of Turkish restaurants, is situated in Isabella Street, a very leafy pedestrian street behind Southwark Tube station. There is a terrace with palm trees outside if the weather is nice and plenty of room inside to mingle and chat before the lunch. We will have a three course lunch with meze, a choice of main courses and dessert.

Once again, we are holding our Summer Party at Doggetts Coat and Badge. This riverside pub is a perfect location for an informal summer event. The terrace has a stunning view of the river and there is plenty of space indoors if we are unlucky with the weather.

This autumn we are returning to a Network favourite, Azzurro Waterloo. Azzurro is a friendly Italian restaurant in a large arch between Waterloo Station and the South Bank. We will have a two-course buffet lunch in the restaurant and there is a bar at the front for drinks beforehand and where people can stay on after the event.
Venue: IPA
Location: 44 Belgrave Square, London SW1X 8QS
Date: POSTPONED
'Can the research business survive without increased automation?' We’re told everything is going to be different in future and nothing in research will ever be the same. Automation will will replace people? Or will it? And what more will happen?
These changes and what they will mean for the research industry will be debated at our next evening meeting, with advertising research specialist Brian Jacobs acting as chair and referee and a panel of guest speakers. We hope to reschedule this event in 2019.
