'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 Spring evening meeting, with advertising research specialist Brian Jacobs acting as chair and referee and a panel of guest speakers.
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.
