MRS Professional Webinars - Call for Contributions 2023
04 October 2022

We will again be running the popular MRS Professional Webinars and speaker evenings in 2023. We are now searching for an exciting line-up of engaging and expert presenters for next year’s events.

There will be 8 professional webinars and two face to face speaker evenings featuring experts, brands, agencies and leaders. Attracting 100-300 delegates for webinars and 50 for the live events, these are free to members and £30 for non-members.

These events offer a fast and engaging way to share knowledge, trends, concepts and practical ideas. They are one hour in format and feature a Q&A session at the end. The Speaker Evenings are held at our London Office with drinks reception and networking beforehand - a perfect opportunity to mingle and chat to your old research fellows and also meet new ones - over a glass of wine and some nibbles.

If you have an innovative research project, pioneering methodology or new business approach that would work in webinar or speaker evening format, we would like to hear from you.

For 2023 we are particularly looking for:

• Data Analytics
• Sustainability research
• Creativity and technology
• Digital innovation
• Storytelling and communication skills
• Commercial and customer insight
• Behavioural Economics and Neuroscience
• AI and machine learning
• Insight into diversity
• Mental health and wellbeing
• Case studies where research has made real impact
• Social Research, i.e. cost of living crisis

"I thoroughly enjoyed preparing and delivering my MRS webinar. The team at MRS team were incredibly supportive and made the whole experience really easy from start to finish. I was overwhelmed with the amount of interest there was from the research and insight community and appreciated the wonderful feedback and thoughtful questions I received. I would say that if you have something that you are passionate about sharing, this is a brilliant platform and great audience to share it with."
