The SAMRA Annual Conference is the not-to-be-missed event on the Southern African insights industry’s calendar. This year’s conference focuses on separating the wheat from the chaff. We are redefining our reality and our science, innovating with calm yet passionate imagination… but without exaggeration. What is the past, present and future hype and reality for the insights industry?

| Programme | This year’s programme includes more than 12 hours of content and discussion, and ample opportunity for networking during the conference. Don’t miss the networking session in the evening on 12 June and the awards and 55th birthday party on 13 June – we have planned some great surprises! |
| Facilitators | Back by popular demand! Mamapudi Nkgadima and Elsa Thirion-Venter once again bring their more than 50 years combined experience in social and market research, their wit and their grace to the SAMRA Annual Conference stage. |
| Students | At SAMRA we are passionate about everything that helps society, organisations, communities and individuals to thrive. To help us make a difference, we are running a competition for full-time students at accredited higher education institutions in Southern Africa, for the best idea for research that could lead to the ultimate make-things-better hack! Four students have been selected from more than 60 submissions, to present their ideas at conference, and to compete for the ultimate prize: the first-ever SAMRA Student Award. Student Profiles |
| Sponsorship | Don’t miss the opportunity to stand out from the crowd, and to impress delegates, while at the same time showing your support for SAMRA and the local industry. Sponsorship bookings are open! |
