Five years ago, the research industry came together to say something bold: it’s time to embrace the research space. That message still holds true today. Face-to-face research creates connections, captures nuance, and builds trust in ways no technology can replicate. It’s not just about where research happens, but how. And when people share space, insights go deeper. Hospitality, empathy, human interaction – this is what drives great research. #FaceToFaceMRX
