Research Leadership
Summit

Wednesday June 5. 9am – 4pm PST.
Gallery 308 at Fort Mason Center, San Francisco.

Research leadership is lonely. But it doesn’t have to be.

When you’re running a research function, especially in a large organization, there’s not a lot of places you can turn to for support. To get help, you need to think outside of the org.

That’s why you should join us at our second annual Research Leadership Summit. It’s a time for new connections, conversations, and fun with a group of people who understand what you’re going through.

The content for this event will be curated and created by the group in the weeks leading up to the summit. We look forward to hearing from you about the topics you’re interested in!

Panel: Managing Through Adversity

Most of us are focused on tactical research to improve the products and services our organizations ship to market. But, product teams aren’t the only ones who need research. In his talk, Andy unpacks what it’s like doing research for executive and board-level stakeholders.
