WELCOME TO THE 2011 MRIA NATIONAL CONFERENCE WWW.MRIA-ARIM.CA/CONFERENCE2011
It was in May 2004 that we attended our first Canadian marketing research conference. We arrived at the PMRS Conference in Toronto one week after submitting our family immigration binder to the Canadian High Commission in Pretoria. This marked an important phase of ‘Project Canada’; it was the start of a networking and assimilation process in the country we would soon call our own. We finally arrived in April 2008. Offered the opportunity to Chair and organize the MRIA 2011 National Conference in Kelowna, we were proud to accept the challenge to put together a winning conference in our home city. Fourteen months of long days, with the support of a committed team of volunteers, and we’re ready to launch. It’s a time of rapid change and uncertainty in our industry. New technologies, social networks and opportunities spring up every day of the week. The challenges are substantial and the future, unknown. Our program features a dynamic group of keynotes, panellists, moderators, session speakers and delegates; to debate what’s hot and what’s not; how the industry could and should move forward; and what role each of us will play, to make it happen. We look forward to welcoming you to Kelowna to enjoy a stimulating couple of days of listening, learning, debating and challenging, in one of Canada’s most appealing destinations, ever!
C’est au mois de mai 2004 que nous avons assisté à notre première conférence canadienne sur la recherche marketing. Nous sommes arrivés à la Conférence de l’APRM à Toronto une semaine après avoir soumis le dossier d’immigration pour notre famille au Hautcommissariat du Canada à Pretoria. Il s’agissait d’un tournant important du « Projet Canada » et le début de notre processus de réseautage et d’assimilation dans le pays qui deviendrait bientôt le nôtre. Nous sommes finalement arrivés en avril 2008. Lorsqu’on nous a offert de présider et d’organiser la Conférence nationale 2011 de l’ARIM à Kelowna, c’est avec fierté que nous avons accepté le défi de mettre sur pied une conférence gagnante dans notre ville. Grâce à quatorze mois de longues journées de travail et à l’appui d’une équipe de bénévoles dévoués, nous voilà prêts au lancement. Notre industrie traverse une période de changement rapide et d’incertitude. De nouvelles technologies, des réseaux sociaux et des possibilités émergent tous les jours de la semaine. Les défis sont substantiels et l’avenir, inconnu. Notre programme comporte un groupe de conférenciers, panélistes, modérateurs, présentateurs aux séances et délégués dynamiques – pour analyser quels sont les enjeux chauds ou non et pour discuter de quelle façon notre industrie pourrait ou devrait aller de l’avant, et du rôle chacun d’entre nous jouera pour le réaliser. Nous avons hâte de vous accueillir à Kelowna et de profiter des quelques jours stimulants d’écoute, de formation, de discussions et de remise en question dans une des destinations les plus attirantes du Canada!

How did the early market research contribute to the vision and strategy behind the Games? Using Games analogies, the presentation will convey the importance of developing a meaningful vision, innovative thinking and values based leadership.
‘Me’ research insists researchers must only ask me about me; my hopes, beliefs, what I would buy/ not buy. The problem is we are unreliable witnesses to our own motivations; we don’t know why we do what we do and are poor predictors of our own behaviour.
Many said it was a vision too far, urging him to set the goals at a more attainable level. Furlong refused and through an exhaustive ten year journey went on to deliver, what have now been recognised by the IOC as, the most successful Winter Games ever. John Furlong, has been described as a Sports Hero, Nation Builder and the Ultimate Crisis Manager. Known for his masterful storytelling and innovative leadership style, he continues to inspire, regaling audiences with the many remarkable and fascinating untold stories behind the Games. The first CEO in Olympic history to have led from day one of the bid phase all the way through, the many trials and tribulations of hosting the Games, to the closing ceremonies, he was relentless in his pursuit to deliver a Games that would touch the hearts and minds of every Canadian. Always a passionate ambassador for Canada, Furlong was honoured earlier this year to be awarded The Officer of The Order of Canada and Member of the Order of British Columbia, for his exceptional leadership of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, which changed our nation, galvanized Canadians from coast to coast to coast and showcased Canada to the world. A father of five and grandfather of 11, Furlong is now an influential figure globally and through his role as the volunteer Chairman of the highly successful Own The Podium program, he continues to be a powerful advocate for amateur sport. His new book, Patriot Hearts – Inside the Olympics That Changed a Country, was launched on February 12, 2011, the one year anniversary of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Games.
However, we are exceptionally good at noticing and copying what others are doing. Learn about BrainJuicer’s ‘We’ research, that uses massanthropology, mass-prediction, mass-ethnography and co-creation for greater accuracy and insight.

Ari has been a trusted advisor for CEOs and CMOs world-wide including Robert Redford and his Sundance brand.

He enjoys watching and playing soccer and spending time in the California sunshine with his wife, daughter and three pets.
Since Kees de Jong’s ‘Panels are People’ speech at the first Panel Conference in 2005 things have changed. Or not? Does the industry value the respondent as a critical partner or merely as an object, to be milked for data at our disposal? In his presentation Kees will elaborate on his vision on how we should deal with our industry’s main source. He will touch upon quality discussions, survey engagement, technological solutions, industry politics and reciprocity. He will share his vision on solutions to keep people interested to participate in research on their terms, for now and in the future. Kees de Jong is Chief Executive Officer of Survey Sampling International (SSI). Named CEO in 2009, Mr. de Jong has led SSI in expanding its global position as the premier provider of online and offline sampling solutions. Prior to his current role, Kees was SSI’s Director of Globalization. Before taking on his global position, he served as Managing Director, Europe. Kees began his relationship with SSI in 2005 when the company acquired Bloomerce Access panels. He founded Bloomerce in 2001, building it into Europe’s first community-based online panel company. Other businesses he cofounded include BBI Group Holding Company, GDCC Call Center, Blauw Research and Admilot Consultancy Services. Kees co-founded Research Voice, an interactive site dedicated to improving the respondent experience. He also was Chairman of ESOMAR's first panel research conference and co-created the ESOMAR Codes and Guidelines on access panels. Kees studied Business Administration at Erasmus University in Rotterdam. He also attended the MIT (USA) Executive Program Masters Classes in Entrepreneurship.
