ICG Webinar (Pre-Recorded): TSAPI – Your Questions Needed!

Calling all ICG members to send questions (however challenging) to Matt Gibbs directly, or ICG Manager Lucie (if you prefer to be anonymous to Matt), in order to shape the content of this pre-recorded webinar. Final deadline for questions – Friday 4th Sept. Webinar will be available to view on Monday 14th Sept.

The ICG recently helped launch a new initiative to create an API standard for Transferring Survey data – TSAPI.  Since launch ICG members have asked several interesting questions and generally wanted more information about the initiative.  The launch video can be viewed here.

The TSAPI initiative is currently in its first consultation period, and Matt Gibbs (ICG member and core TSAPI team) is very keen to include independents and micro businesses in that discussion.  Matt will answer any questions ICG members have about TSAPI in an upcoming webinar.  Webinar content will be defined by ICG member questions, so please send any queries and ideas you have to Matt or Lucie (if you prefer to stay anonymous to Matt) by Friday 4th September.  No matter how general or specific, Matt will consult with the TSAPI team and answer as best he can.

A webinar for everyone – not just for quantitative researchers

This session is not just for quant techies, but should be of interest to everyone.  It’s an opportunity for us all understand more about the non-profit initiative, to share our ideas, and discuss how it might influence the future of market researching practice.  As Matt says, from coders to clients TSAPI needs your ideas and support.  Everybody’s welcome!

The TSAPI initiative was launched globally on the 5th of August, via the Australian National MR Conference, in the UK via the Association for Survey Computing (ASC), the Market Research Society (MRS), Independent Consultants Group (ICG), and Research Live.  Then on US time via Quirk’s Media and publicised by MRweb.
