*This is a closed-door event for VP, Director, and Head of Research / Insights leaders. Seats are limited to 50 by design.

AI is changing how studies get done. What hasn't changed is what makes research worth doing: rigor, context, and craft. Together, we'll explore where AI creates real leverage, how workflows are evolving, and what research leadership looks like next.

Expect a candid, interactive discussion with fellow research leaders, followed by a networking lunch to continue the conversation with peers shaping the future of research.
