MEGA MEMEX WEEK 15.9.-24.9.2021
Art, Technology, Science
Prior to our annual Memex Conference, we are launching a pre-event Mega Memex Week that is dedicated to creating a dialogue between art and scientific findings in the world of market research! We are celebrating our research, innovation, and art with our community here in Kreuzberg!
Building a company upon psychological theory to offer the best possible research has been our mission since 1999. Our core mission is to understand what humans feel, think, and do – to see the experience. This year we are excited to finally launch our interdisciplinary connections between art, science, and technology!
What to expect at Mega Memex Week:
All events will take place in our Berlin office.
Apart from our everyday market research business, we love dedicating our time to creating innovative ideas. Join our innovation workshops held by eye square tribes – special interest groups that create space for work and knowledge transfer in innovation through cross-team collaboration. Each workshop will take place in our Berlin office, start at 6 pm and last 90 minutes. Get your seat on our Mega Memex Week meetup or below:
