- Short Description:
- Have you ever wanted to integrate accessibility into your research practice, but didn’t know where to start? In this QCast, come meet some personas of people with disabilities. Through the principles of accessible usability, you’ll learn about different ways of experiencing the world and how you can open up your research to include them. It’s not as hard as you might think, if you start from the human side of research: learning from varieties of experience, treating differences as an opportunity (not an annoyance), and expanding your own practice to alternative ways of interacting. There will be plenty of tips on the practical details like recruiting, making the research space welcoming, and being flexible during the session for different technologies and needs. We hope this talk will inspire you to take the first step in making your research practice accessible.

- Short Description:
- Concepts are an indispensable research tool, allowing us to communicate the essence of a product or service to consumers. Clear, well-crafted concepts help participants engage meaningfully and generate reliable findings, while poorly constructed concepts risk confusion and wasted learning. When concepts are central to a market research study, it’s critical to get them right.

- Short Description:
- Data is everywhere, but without data literacy, misinformation, misinterpretation, and poor decision-making result. Researchers play a critical role in bridging the gap between data and meaningful understanding. This session explores why data literacy is essential today, how we can collectively foster a more data-literate society, and the role organizations like QRCA can play in educating the broader public. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to advocate for data literacy, empower stakeholders, and drive better, more informed decision-making.
