We’re 50 Years Young!
MRIA is the single authoritative voice of the marketing and public opinion research and marketing intelligence industry in Canada. Over the past 50 years, the association has grown to include more than 400 corporate members and over 2,000 individual members; and it accounts for more than $784 million dollars in economic activity annually.In 2010, the association will turn 50 years young. To help celebrate this milestone, you have an opportunity to participate in what will undoubtedly be the biggest and most memorable event in the history of the market research industry in Canada.
It is anticipated that the 2010 MRIA Conference will attract almost double the average attendance at this annual event, so you can expect to find more than 600 decision-makers and senior- to mid-level staff of marketing research buyers and suppliers at the conference. As well, given the importance of insights and knowledge management in business decision-making, the conference will attract significant media coverage.
