Founded in 2013, the AMA Detroit Marketing Research SIG (Shared Interest Group) was developed to support and enrich marketing research professionals' development and networking in Metro Detroit.

Meetings are informal but organized. Ideas for discussions and learning/training come from and are provided by the Marketing Research SIG (MR SIG).

Who should attend?

  • AMA members, non-members or students interested in marketing research
  • Marketing researchers and those interested in marketing research in Metro Detroit

What are MR SIG events like?

MR SIG events are brown bag lunch activities typically held at Lawrence Technological University. These events are more informal than other chapter offerings; consisting of a discussion leader leading a lecture or round table discussion.
