At the Coal Face - the Latest Thinking in Patient/Consumer Interactions and its Relevance on Market
and Research. Peter Wells, Nilewide. It is one of those things we all want to deny – we simply don’t think very much.
If we deny this we can continue to believe that people think about our brands, our ads and can answer questions about them.
But, if we accept that most decisions are made subconsciously based on habits, and that we don’t think about most of the things
that go on around us, including the marketing communications we are exposed to, then we need to ask some serious questions
about where marketing and research go next. As Nobel Prize winners, neuroscientists, evolutionary psychologists and a few ad
researchers take aim at our basic tenets, maybe we should think a bit more about thinking, or more importantly the lack of it.
It will change the way we think, or don’t, about marketing and its tools.

IT Security – Threats and Defence. Chris Jocelyne. The ability to assemble, store, manage and disseminate research
information electronically exerts powerful leverage on the effectiveness and efficiency of the research enterprise. However, the
dark side of this technology is that it exposes research data to unprecedented levels of privacy breaches, inquisitive browsing,
sabotage, virus attack, vandalism and computer crime. Today’s challenge is managing and handling electronic information in
a safe, secure and confidential way. Hear the issues explained in a practical and highly entertaining presentation, free of
technical jargon.

companies invest a great amount of time and money on live educational events for customers and internal staff. But what do the
participants walk away with - and how do you know? There is substantial evidence to prove that adults learn and retain
information best when they are involved in the process. In this session we will review some of this evidence and explore how the
use of interactive tools and techniques can improve the retention rate of participants who attend live educational events. So don’t
