“The theme of this year’s Congress is ‘Mind, Myth, Machine’ and our programme definitely reflects this,” said Rhiannon Bryant of ESOMAR. “Over 200 speakers from more than 30 countries are convening in Athens to share evidence of the power of methodological innovation, research technologies and human inspiration for insight impact in business and society. They’ll share best practices for telling human stories, safeguarding brands as well as inspire discussion and thought leadership on big items such as Sustainability, Diversity, how AI is affecting the sector and how in turn human researchers are amplifying the value of insights in these areas. The world of insights truly comes together at this year’s event which is why it is more than just an event, it is an experience!”
Over the four-days, academy trainers and international speakers will address the industry’s hottest topics on stage, such as: research quality, practical use and ethical implications of artificial intelligence and synthetic data; new technologies and methodologies for uncovering consumer insights; and what all the newest insights innovations mean for branding and marketing professionals. Research into pressing global issues will also be discussed, including the cost-of-living crisis, human rights, international relations and immigration, just to name a few.
Keynote speakers include author, neuroscientist, and artificial intelligence expert Vivien Ming, who will share an incredible story of self-discovery and provide insights on how to robot-proof oneself. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) expert Jess Pettit will help attendees build understanding and drive ownership of these important initiatives.
Trust Economist Philipp Kristian will shed light on how technology is transforming trust and creating social and business innovation. AI philosopher and responsibility advocate Nell Watson will enlighten attendees on her work to protect human rights and infuse ethics, safety, and values that elevate the human spirit into technologies like AI.
ESOMAR Congress 2024 will also offer an array of networking opportunities in the cradle of Western civilisation, including a chance to enjoy the Athenian nightlife plus a dazzling Mediterranean moonlight soiree full of memorable conversations and wonderful cuisine (on a private peninsula!). In addition, the programme includes exclusive activities for specific attendee groups, a popular CEO dinner, a brands-only meeting and lunch, masterclasses and more.
Registration is still open. The last day to register at the standard rate is 16 August. The event will be held at the elegant Athenaeum InterContinental, located just moments away from the city centre. Visit www.esomar-congress.com for more information.
