RESEARCH STRATEGY
To gather a list of upcoming market research supplier networking events and conferences, we looked for precompiled lists and announcements of marketing research conferences. Other than The Marketing Research Event (TMRE), we found no remaining upcoming 2019 conferences but found several for 2020. We found marketing research conferences in general such as those listed in Qualtric's list and none for specific target groups such as market research suppliers to restaurant groups, retail groups, franchisees, health and beauty groups, and so on. For the conferences we found, the attendees included participants and speakers from both brands and market research vendors/suppliers. For example, The Market Research Event (TMRE) featured sessions from McKinsey and KFC in the same day. We did not find any conferences or events that featured sessions or tracks for market research vendors that targeted a specific vertical; most of the topics addressed the market research in general ex. software, innovation, new technologies on market research, etc. Even the smaller conferences we found (MRMW and Quirk) focused on general topics such as mobile, innovation and industry trends instead of specific industry verticals or markets such as restaurants, retail, etc.
Therefore, we provided a list of all available upcoming 2020 conferences in marketing research in the US. For the networking events/conferences with no available list of speakers or agenda, we provided the previous event's details for review and comparison. In summary, we provided 5 upcoming marketing research supplier networking events/conferences in 2020 above.
