AIMRI hosts meeting on market research technology

"The future of international market research business: using new technology to improve efficiency without reducing quality" will be held on Friday 29 February 2008 in Malaga, Spain.

The meeting will concentrate on the problems of running a business efficiently and successfully rather than actually doing the research and enable us to learn from the experiences of other members through talks and workshop style meetings.

Topics will include the following.

What is the future of subcontracting; how much can we do from our desktop? Budgeting for international projects; how can we control and improve our profitability? How has sampling changed; can we collect data on a single platform? How can we speed up and improve getting quotes and costing for international research projects? Anyone wishing to make a short presentation in Malaga should contact Richard Chilton at AIMRI.

There will be a gala dinner for members and their guests after the formal sessions on Friday 29 February.

Hotel accommodation: the AC Malaga Palacio Hotel is modern and rated by Michelin with four roofs for top comfort.

It is located only five minutes from the city centre on foot and 15 minutes from Malaga Airport by car.

The hotel enjoys an unbeatable location between the Cathedral and the Paseo del Parque, with picturesque views out over the port.

We are keeping the member fee per delegate to a minimum GBP140 (euro200); this includes registration, attendance at all the sessions, lunch (with wine), tea/coffee breaks and the gala dinner.

The delegate fee is payable by all attending the sessions, including those giving short presentations.

There will be no charge for accompanying persons but they may not attend the formal sessions: there will however be an extra charge for the gala dinner guests.

For non-members there is a slightly higher fee.

In the case of new members who attend the meeting and join within two months we will waive the joining fee and refund the difference between the member and non-member meeting fees.

The Gala Dinner is included in the full delegate fee.

This will cover aperitifs at the restaurant and a gourmet meal with wine.

There will be a cost of GBP55 (euro80) per person for guests.

We will offer members opportunities to sponsor the conference events.

It will be possible also to take trade stands for a modest fee.
