ESOMAR Asia Pacific 2026: 'Beyond Balance'
We are excited to announce that the RONIN team will be attending ESOMAR Asia Pacific 2026. Taking place from 27–29 May 2026 at the Hilton Tokyo Odaiba, this is the premier gathering for the insights community in the region.
The conference brings together leading minds in market research, data experts, and global regional voices to explore emerging technologies and the shifts transforming our industry. This year’s theme, "Beyond Balance," focuses on moving past traditional trade-offs like speed versus rigour and innovation versus trust to shape the future of insights in an AI-powered environment.
The program features practical case studies and forward-looking discussions focused on:
-
Practical AI Integration: Exploring how modern teams are moving from AI experimentation to real-world governance and impact measurement.
-
The Human Element at Scale: Analyzing how researchers can maintain cultural nuance and understand deep-seated fandoms as automated tools become more common.
-
Commercial Innovation: New methodologies for rapid concept testing that link directly to business growth and product development.
-
Maintaining Integrity: High-level perspectives on protecting the participant experience and ensuring the long-term reliability of data.
-
Driving Real Change: How insights can go beyond reporting to actually influence sustainable behavior and social outcomes.
