Showcase Day
A fast-paced look at what’s happening across research and insights
The research and insights world is changing quickly. New platforms are emerging,
established tools are evolving, and companies are developing new ways to help
researchers work smarter, move faster and create greater impact.
Throughout Showcase Day, organisations will take the virtual stage for a series of
fast-paced Showcase Sessions, each featuring a
10-minute presentation followed by 5 minutes of Q&A.
Each Showcase Session is an opportunity to see something new: a product demonstration,
a new capability, an innovative service, a practical use case or a fresh approach to
solving the challenges facing researchers and insight teams.
What to expect
Short sessions. New ideas. Practical possibilities.
Showcase Sessions are deliberately short and focused. The aim is to get quickly to what matters:
What does it do?
What makes it interesting?
How could it help?
Whether you are actively looking for new tools and partners or simply want to keep up
with what is changing across the industry, Showcase Day is your chance to see what’s
out there and discover what might be useful to you.
Take part in Showcase Day
Want to run a Showcase Session?
Put your product, platform or service in the spotlight at the Festival of NewMR.
We are inviting companies and organisations to take part in Showcase Day by running a
sponsored Showcase Session: a 10-minute presentation followed by 5 minutes of audience Q&A.
This is an opportunity to put what you do in front of the NewMR community and show people
why they should be interested.
Your Showcase Session could:
✓Demonstrate your product or platform
✓Introduce a new feature, service or capability
✓Show a practical use case
✓Explain how you are solving a problem for researchers or insight teams
✓Launch something new
✓Give the audience a preview of what you are working on next
Show rather than simply tell
Demonstrations, examples and practical applications are especially welcome.
You have 10 minutes to showcase what you do — followed by 5 minutes to answer questions from the audience.
Showcase Sessions are paid opportunities and the number of places available is limited.
