ESOMAR Conference Asia Pacific 2008

Asia Pacific 2008

Because of its strategic location on the crossroad between Europe, Asia and Australia, Singapore turned into a large center of trade, communication and tourism. Nowadays Singapore is one of the centers of world culture with dynamically developing potential of ideas and possibilities. 

The global balance of power and influence is shifting decisively to Asia Pacific. Forecasters suggest that within decades, the region will become the world’s dominant economic force and biggest market.
Asia Fast forward looks at the role of research in bringing this date closer and making these predictions a global reality.
Our 9th Asia Pacific Conference and exhibition hopes to capture the optimism, creativity and innovation rising from this vibrant region by providing a hub for inspiration, celebration, exchanging bright ideas and sharing best practice.
