Leaders’ Forum 2014 – Sydney
Held in Sydney for the very first time, the 2014 Leaders Forum promises to challenge, inform and entertain. Themed ‘Our Vision, Our Future’, this AMSRO member event is much more than a networking opportunity. It focuses on the local and global issues impacting our industry, future trends, innovative work practices and what makes success stick. AMSRO hopes to see many up and coming leaders and 2ICs there as well – the next generation of leaders in research.
Guest speakers:

Kieren Perkins, Olympic Medallist/Head Private Wealth NAB QLD – Success from lane Eight

Dr Grant Robertson Principal Consultant, UGM Consulting – The Future of Work
Dr Robertson from UGM Consulting looks at the basic building block of organisational success – individuals. Most people are concerned with getting ahead in the workplace and humans have a strong desire for fulfilling work, and the opportunity to learn and grow. Yet one of the most common mistakes made by organisations is overlooking the individual and their contribution. It’s a lose-lose that impacts the individual and the organisation.

Forum overview:
The Leaders’ Forum is a member convention that allows AMSRO members to meet in a relaxed atmosphere with peers. It’s a rare chance to network, ask questions in a uniquely confidential environment and learn the latest about issues affecting the direction of market and social research; engage with leading experts regarding marketing, economic, industrial and workplace relations and contribute on policy matters to support the AMSRO agenda and long term strategy. All sessions are participatory with scheduled Q & A time.
In keeping with tradition, a sumptuous official Forum dinner is planned and for the first time a special wine tasting session with International Food and Wine Association industry expert Yvonne Wallis who opens her cellar to share a selection of fine wines from Australia and abroad.

Testimonials
“The 2013 AMSRO forum was the best one yet. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming, and The Byron was one of the best hotels we have stayed at. Nathan Hodges from TrinityP3 gave an excellent talk on Leadership Strategies, which really made you think about decision making strategy from a different perspective and Dean Pearson, head of Industry Economics at the National Bank gave a brilliantly insightful talk on the economy and was very entertaining too!”
Nicky Munro, Research Solutions
“A great bunch of people who come together as competitors, but over the one and half days at the AMSRO conference;
– share views and ideas on creating a better future
– learn from others outside our industry
– partake in a gastronomic feast
and then leave as friends with a common purpose. I look forward to AMSRO 2014.”
Angela Orsaris,
The Market Intelligence Co.
