It combines traditional research methodology with AI capabilities to transform conversations and observations into meaningful insights while preserving the depth and nuance that qualitative researchers value. \nThe platform processes all forms of qualitative data—from focus group transcripts and video recordings to written responses and discussions—using Rubiklab’s specialized validation approach. Its advanced analysis captures subtle themes and emotional context\, while the intuitive “Talk to Your Data” feature lets researchers explore their findings through natural conversation. \nWhat sets LabIQ apart is how it enhances rather than replaces the interpretative nature of qualitative research. Available in over 50 languages\, the platform offers smart transcription\, theme identification\, and research summaries\, while building connections between current findings and past research to provide richer context. \nLabIQ significantly reduces time spent on administrative tasks like transcription and initial analysis\, freeing up valuable time for deeper interpretation and discovery.Join our live demo to see how LabIQ can transform your research workflow from data prep to powerful insights. \nPresenters: \n\n\n\nDave Homer\, CAIPPresident\, ATP Canada Software & Services Ltd\nIllitch RealCEO and Co-founder\, Rubiklab\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n \n \n \n \n \n TrueSCAN: Applying Neuroscience-Based Attention AI to Maximize Impact\ntrueSCAN is an advanced concept testing platform that utilizes AI to analyze and interpret marketing materials by providing valuable insights into human attention. This allows businesses to optimize their marketing designs and ultimately boost conversion rates. \nIn the webinar\, we will demonstrate the practical applications of trueSCAN by showcasing how users can upload images of their marketing materials for analysis. The AI then uses predictive eye-tracking models (ie. heatmaps)\, based on real eye-tracking data\, to pinpoint what captures attention within the design. We will also explore how trueSCAN provides a Focus and Simplicity score\, trained with EEG and neuroscience data\, to ensure the message is clear and understood.  \nFurthermore\, the webinar will illustrate how trueSCAN can suggest enhancements using features like Artistic Style Transfer and Expression to make marketing materials more visually captivating. We will also show how Sentiment Analysis Visual Intelligence assesses the potential impact of the marketing material based on visual cues like facial expressions and object detection. \nThe target audience for trueSCAN is primarily marketing professionals\, brands\, and agencies. The accessible chatbot interface is specifically designed for their use. trueSCAN offers significant value to this target audience by providing actionable data on attention spans\, engagement levels\, and areas of interest within their marketing content. This enables them to refine their materials before launch\, ensuring their message is seen and understood.  \nBy identifying the most impactful design elements\, marketers can create compelling designs that drive customer engagement and action. trueSCAN also allows businesses to compare their performance against industry benchmarks and competitors\, and provides clear guidance and optimization tips on how to capture attention\, maintain engagement\, and drive conversions.  \nUltimately\, trueSCAN helps marketing professionals move beyond guesswork by leveraging neuroscience-based AI and attention data to truly understand their audience and create more effective marketing campaigns. \nPresenters: \n\n\n\nDiana LucaciCEO & Co-Founder\, True Impact\nFerdinand EphremCTO & Co-FounderTrue Impact\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Introducing Nora (Neural Optimized Research Agent): The AI consultant that reinvents organizational learning\nOrganizations around the world depend on employee insights to guide their growth\, but traditional surveys create slow\, painstaking work for everyone.

Using case studies\, this session willdemonstrate how four organizations have successfully leveraged their use of ResearchAI to overcome traditional barriers to analyzing text data\, produce authoritative insights\, and drive meaningful improvements in business performance. \nCritical to these organizations and their research teams is the need for authoritative\, explainable\, and replicable text data analysis (theme\, topic\, and sentiment). These teams have come to realize that to maintain trust and credibility\, they need a tool that isnot a black box\, generating different answers each time it is invoked or is subject tohallucinations by design. \nThe session will outline how ResearchAI’s unique design and methodology provide the most authoritative results of any leading text analytics tool on the market and address organizations’ critical needs to protect data leakage and privacy. \nValue to CRIC members – How they can become AI Insights Heros \nResearchers today encounter a series of obstacles that limit their ability to deliverimpactful insights swiftly and at scale: \n\nLimited time amidst a demanding schedule.\nThe inability to efficiently manage large datasets for analysis.\nThe need for insights that carry weight and authority.\nA reluctance or inability to engage with complex coding for data analysis.\n\nCRIC members attending the session will be provided with four concrete examples ofhow ResearchAI can enable them to: \n\nAccess leading AI models and train their own models around their own context ina private and encrypted environment.\nSave weeks of manual effort\, shorten project cycles and reduce costs.\nAvoid the need to master or even use complex coding packages.\n\nPresenter: \n \n\n\n\nCody Dodd Co-founder & CTO\, Research AI\n\n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

But brands now have the opportunity to gather actionable insights with a new tracking framework\, introduced last year by Professor Jenni Romaniuk of the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute of Marketing Science\, in her book\, Better Brand Health. \nJoin quantilope’s tracking expert\, Madita Brandhorst\, for a deep dive into Better Brand Health tracking\, covering everything you need to know about it and two key analyses included in the framework: Mental Availability and Mental Advantage Analysis. \n‍Madita will also share exclusive learnings from two years of quantilope’s Better Brand Health tracking studies across diverse markets and categories\, including compelling data on the correlation between mental availability and real-world sales growth. \n‍Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or new to the concept of mental availability\, this session will equip you with all you need to know about Better Brand Health tracking and how you can implement it to drive actionable insights from your trackers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMadita Brandhorst\nSenior Tracking Lead\, quantilope\n\nMadita combines her background in psychology (M.Sc.) with 10 years of market research expertise to generate deep and strategic insights. She started her career at Ipsos\, running traditional brand and ad tracking studies for global brands across various industries incl. CPG\, Fashion\, Media and Tech. At quantilope\, Madita spearheads the development\, implementation and continuous improvement of innovative tracking solutions\, fueled by her belief that tracking can be both: fun and actionable.
