"The TRC conference was well worth my time as I learned two very useful research techniques that have relevance for our company's research dept– TEXO and Purchase funnel. Also, both were presented in a very clear and thoughtful manner"
Maria Cheung Time Warner Cable
"I found the TRC Conference both thought provoking and informative. All of the speakers had interesting ideas to share, and I wanted to immediately head back to the office to see how I could implement them. The opportunity to spend some quality time networking with other researchers (over a pleasant lunch) was a terrific bonus."
Marc Beebe, IEEE
"A highly informative event packed with practical and useful insights into the ‘how-to’s’ of best research practices. Not a wasted moment."
