International Research Community Hits Auckland
International Research Community Hits Auckland 8 September 2015
We live in an age where traditional, social, political, technological and financial boundaries are fast becoming irrelevant. For businesses and governments this rapid rate of change presents both valuable opportunities and significant challenges. Successful organisations are adapting to the new normal and creating exciting new opportunities for innovation and growth.
What does this mean for businesses operating in NZ and the wider Asia-Pacific region? What does it mean for researchers and their clients?
Research Association New Zealand hosts this year’s international APRC conference on 8 September at the Crown Plaza. Themed “Research Without Boundaries”, with more than 20 speakers and nearly 300 local and international guests, the event promises to be one of the country’s most exciting business event this year.
Find out at this year’s conference how clients are prospering and how the research profession is expanding its own boundaries to better meet the needs of these organisations.
You’ll hear from a diverse range of speakers at the forefront of change, how they and their networks are dealing with the changing business environment and busting through boundaries to create customer value and competitive advantage. And you’ll gain a rich understanding of how they uncover insights and generate innovations that have led to multi-million dollar opportunities in new sectors and new markets, pushing past their own traditional boundaries.
Confirmed speakers so far include:
Peter Cullinane - Founding Partner, Assignment Group; Founder & Chairman, Lewis Road Creamery
Phil O’Reilly - CEO, Business NZ
Kevin Bowler – CEO, Tourism NZ
Dominic Quin –Director Planning & Insights, Global Brands and Nutrition, Fonterra
