Our presenters include some of our industry’s emerging stars, alongside seasoned polling professionals.

The programme is designed with a particular emphasis on those early in their polling and research careers, but is open to anyone interested in understanding and using opinion polls – whether in market research, academia, journalism, politics or indeed as a member of the general public. All are welcome!
