UK Chapter Meeting – Speaker Announcement
Market research has evolved fast, from standalone studies, to a secondary first mindset, and now to a world where LLMs can interrogate and connect data in entirely new ways.
In this session, we will explore how to bring primary and secondary data together effectively. Using real case studies, we will share 3–4 practical principles that show the real value and impact of integrated research.
