What’s Next
We are not pursuing an online option as an alternative for this year’s event. Currently, we plan on having a 2021 ART Forum and the Simon School at the University of Rochester has graciously offered to host the event. We’ll share details about next year’s program as they become available. Thanks for your understanding and support!
Event Description
Data scientists, marketing professionals and academics attending the Advanced Research Techniques (ART) Forum will find a network of colleagues who are serious about developing tools that can solve the next generation of problems in the field of marketing. Hands-on sessions, focusing on repeatable research, will make sure you leave with practical takeaways–and the right code–for applying sophisticated methodologies and quantitative techniques to support strategic marketing decisions.
The 31st annual ART Forum features practitioner and academic presentations on techniques useful to marketing researchers. It encompasses traditional topics such as segmentation, targeting and positioning and embraces new frontiers of text, video, and picture data, field experiments and big data analytics for improving business performance. Practitioners coming to the ART Forum will learn about new solutions and academics will learn about new problems.
