Rep Data Heads to The Quirk’s Event Dallas 2026

The Quirk’s Event Dallas is our first stop on what’s shaping up to be a busy Quirk’s conference circuit in 2026. Joel Nelson, Rep Data’s SVP of Sales and based in Dallas, will be on the ground connecting with brands, insights leaders and research partners throughout the two-day event this March. If you’re going to be there, he’d welcome the chance to connect.

The agenda in Dallas is stacked this year, and a few sessions stand out as especially relevant to what we’re seeing in the market right now. AI is clearly center stage at the show. Some AI sessions that look like they will be sharing some grounded and practical angles include "Say 'Yes' More Often: How to Use AI to Do More with Less" and, “From AI to HI: How Heineken combines artificial intelligence and human intelligence for optimized results.” Later on Tuesday afternoon, "The Psychology of Better Data" with Pernod Ricard will dig into why survey responses often don't reflect real behavior, and this session feels timely given how quickly the respondent landscape is shifting. And in light of the current Olympic games, this session from Amazon is one to mark the calendar for: “From one-off study to ongoing advantage: Lessons from Amazon’s Olympics live sports research.”

And if you're around for the Dallas Mavericks fireside chat on Wednesday morning, Joel will definitely be in the room—a hometown perk.

Joel is happy to dig into conversations around practical approaches to strengthening data quality, how AI is reshaping research and accelerating workflows, strategies to improve and sustain respondent engagement, and ways to drive greater operational efficiency across the full research lifecycle. He’s local, so there’s no flight to catch to make time for a face-to-face conversation. Reach out to schedule a few minutes to talk about what’s working (and what isn’t) when it comes to data quality, respondent integrity and research operations.

Looking ahead: Chicago, London and NYC

While we’ll be attending Dallas, Rep Data will be sponsoring and exhibiting at several upcoming Quirk’s Events in 2026:

• The Quirk's Event – Chicago — April 15–16, 2026
• The Quirk's Event – London — May 6–7, 2026
• The Quirk's Event – New York — July 29–30, 2026

We’re looking forward to hitting the stage, booth conversations and deeper engagement at each of these events. More details on our presence at those shows will be shared soon.

For now, we’re focused on Dallas. If you’ll be there March 10–11, let’s connect.
