WELCOME TO THE 2014
MRIA NATIONAL CONFERENCE
Welcome to the 2014 MRIA National Conference 2014 National Conference Chair Corrin Harper Welcome, Delegates, to sunny Saskatoon and to Dig Deeper and Discover, the 2014 Marketing Research and Intelligence Association National Conference. As the Conference Chair of the 2014 MRIA Conference, I am pleased and excited to welcome you to Saskatoon, the “Paris on the Prairies”, for our annual convention. If seeing is believing, then you simply have to see Saskatchewan. Otherwise, you won’t believe the expanse of the land, our connection to it, or the feeling of serenity that the constant, distant horizon brings to your soul. You won’t believe the size of the endless sky overhead, or the vibrant colours that fill it at sunrise, sunset, or midnight. I look forward to sharing this with you. Over our two days together, we will both inform and entertain. You will listen to, and learn from some of the brightest minds in our industry, participate in discussions on emerging trends in the field, and network with fellow market researchers and buyers. This conference is a great opportunity for you to learn more about the world of marketing research, and I am proud to be hosting it here in my home province of Saskatchewan, the first time the MRIA annual event has been held here. In the true spirit of Saskatchewan hospitality, you’ll be treated to a culinary extravaganza featuring the finest foods from the province. Don’t be surprised to find Saskatoon berries in many of the dishes! With the Saskatoon Speakeasy Networking and Boat Ride Evening on Monday night, in the opulent gardens of Saskatoon’s famous Castle on the River, the Delta Bessborough, you will experience first-hand the beauty of the South Saskatchewan River. Join your colleagues on the Prairie Lily Riverboat to experience the Bridge City to its fullest. At MRIA’s premier event on Tuesday night, the Gala Awards Dinner, you will see what Saskatchewan was like in the 1920’s. The Gala will be a prohibition inspired evening of awards and vaudeville acts as we celebrate the Speakeasy, where all levels of society partied and socialized behind closed doors. The 1920’s inspired evening will be comprised of comedy and dance, specialty cocktails, and wonderful food. All that and more awaits you at the 2014 MRIA National Conference in Saskatoon Saskatchewan – so take your time to discover this beautiful place.

BIENVENUE
À LA CONFÉRENCE NATIONALE DE L’ARIM EN 2014
Bienvenue à la Conférence nationale 2014 Présidente de la conférence 2014 Corrin Harper À tous les participants, bienvenue à Saskatoon et à Dig Deeper and Discover, la conférence nationale 2014 de l’Association de la recherche et de l’intelligence marketing. Il me fait plaisir, en ma qualité de présidente de la conférence, de vous souhaiter la bienvenue à Saskatoon, « le Paris des Prairies », et à notre conférence nationale. La Saskatchewan, il faut la voir en personne pour pleinement l’apprécier : ses terres qui s’étalent à l’infini, son horizon lointain qui calme et réconforte, son vaste ciel et ses couleurs éclatantes, que ce soit à l’aube, au crépuscule ou à minuit. Oui, bienvenue à mon bien-aimé coin de pays. Nous comptons, au cours des deux prochains jours, vous informer et vous divertir. Vous entendrez les esprits les plus brillants de notre secteur, participerez à des discussions sur les plus récentes tendances et établirez des rapports avec vos collègues et clients potentiels. Bref, vous découvrirez bien des choses au sujet de la recherche marketing. Je suis fière de vous accueillir en Saskatchewan, ma province de naissance, à l’occasion de ce premier événement national de l’ARIM à se tenir dans la province. Les gens de la Saskatchewan sont accueillants, leur table aussi généreuse que délicieuse. Ne soyez pas surpris de retrouver l’amélanche (Saskatoon Berry) dans plusieurs plats–nous en raffolons ! Plusieurs événements vous attendent au cours des prochains jours : la réceptionréseautage genre Speakeasy du lundi soir, qui se tiendra dans les magnifiques jardins du Delta Bessborough, le « château » sur l’impressionnante rivière South Saskatchewan, la croisière à bord du Prairie Lily, qui vous fera découvrir la « ville des ponts » depuis un point de vue privilégié, et, mardi soir, la soirée gala qui recréera le Saskatoon des années 20, à l’époque de la Prohibition, quand tout Saskatoon se rencontrait « en secret » au Speakeasy. Au menu de ce gala : des récompenses, de la comédie, de la danse, des coquetels originaux et des plats inoubliables. Bienvenue donc à la Conférence nationale 2014 de l’ARIM, à Saskatoon et en Saskatchewan. Que votre séjour chez nous soit aussi enrichissant qu’inoubliable.
