B2B or not B2B: The Future of BIG and B2B Research – Hosted by BIG Committee Members

The Business Intelligence Group would like to invite you to take part in a discussion of the future of B2B research and how BIG should be supporting its members to meet the challenges ahead.

BIG Chair Ginny Monk will be leading a panel discussion, with figures representing the B2B industry (agency and client, old and new), around issues such as:

• How is B2B research changing and what will it look like in 5 years?
• What part will technology play in B2B research – will the use of online surveys, panels, communities, etc. be as prevalent as in consumer research?
• How can the B2B research industry deal with data protection issues, GDPR, etc?
•  What is the role of a trade organisation like BIG?
•  What should BIG do to support its members and the B2B research industry generally?

BIG has already started some internal brainstorming on its role and raison d’etre, which we can share with you to get the conversation going. Also this Forum will help guide us as we work on developing BIG to better meet your needs. details to follow, tickets available now.

Tips for streamlining your business and financial admin

Join us at the ICG’s inaugural Small Business Networking event and hear from two fantastic speakers about how SMEs can more effectively streamline their admin and finances, leaving you freer to do what you’re best at. 

Our Small Business Networking events are open to any small business in any sector or trade. They offer attendees the opportunity to hear from speakers about a range of business issues (not research) and network with other SME owners. 

Brian Woolrich, Director at UK Business Mentoring, will be focusing on effective time management techniques and tools for SMEs.

Andrew King, Channel Enablement Manager at FreeAgent, will be talking about the Making Tax Digital initiative and tools that can streamline all your business finances.
