BRANCH MEETINGS: One of the benefits of MRSNZ membership is that you are kept informed about and can attend activities at discounted rates. Throughout the year, dinner or lunch meetings are arranged. These events present speakers, generally from a marketing or market research background, discussing topics relevant to market research. For Auckland meetings, dinner is provided following the talk. These events are an excellent opportunity to meet other people involved in the industry.
SEMINARS: Periodically the MRSNZ organises seminars. These are more in-depth sessions, focusing on a specific topic for training. These sessions are more like workshops and offer great opportunities to learn the more practical aspects of market research.
CONFERENCE: Every second year the MRSNZ organises a conference for its members. This is typically a 3-4 day event, aimed at further education for those in the industry. There are also usually several overseas speakers who add variety and bring an international perspective to this forum for learning. It is also a very social event offering an ideal opportunity for networking with others in the industry, and well worth attending.
SOCIAL / SPORTING EVENTS: Various other social and sporting events (such as the annual Auckland MRSNZ Golf Day and Pool Tournaments) offer further opportunity for members to socialise as well as indulge in friendly competition, followed by a meal and drinks. Prizes are awarded for the best (and worst) performances. All are welcome to attend, from professionals to complete novices.
