Everything you ever wanted to know…

Why a global event?

In 2020 we began hosting our events virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time we learned that 77% of end-client researchers use virtual events as a way to stay up to date with industry education. Quirk’s audience is global and many researchers do not live close enough to an in-person event to attend. In fact, 97% of Quirk’s audience has not been able to enjoy a Quirk’s in-person event in 2022. Quirk’s Global Event is the event for them!

How do I register for a virtual event? What’s the deadline?

You can register on the website by clicking the “Register” button on the top of the page. The deadline is October 10 at 5:00 p.m. ET.

Can I register day of?

No. Our team is dedicated to event logistics once the event is live. You must register by October 10 at 5:00 p.m. ET to attend the event.

Can I register more than one person?

No, due to privacy laws, we request that each attendee register for themselves.

Are registration cancellations or substitutions permitted?

You may cancel your registration by e-mailing chris@quirks.com. There are no refunds or substitutions allowed after your registration is processed so please make sure you can attend.

How much does it cost to attend virtually?

Before October 10, registration for MR suppliers/others is $95. After that, registration for MR suppliers/others is $175. Quirk’s has a limited number of free tickets allotted for end-clients. After those tickets are gone the price for end-client registrations will be $125. 

When will I receive the instructions for attending the virtual event?

 The Global Event’s portal will open by end of day on October 5, giving you enough time to create your profile and agenda, and get familiar with all of the features the event has to offer. If you register a few days before the event, you will receive your credentials to enter the portal a few hours after you register.

 

How do I participate?

If you simply want to listen to or watch the sessions, all you’ll need is a good set of speakers or headphones. If you want to also chat with sponsors or attendees, you can use the chat function on the platform. 

How can I interact with conference sponsors?

In the Sponsor section of the platform, you can find a wide range of insight providers. You can click to their page to watch videos, download content (white papers and literature) and leave your digital business card digitally to connect with sponsor staff. 

Will I be able to connect with other attendees?

Yes, but only if they want to connect with you. You can message people, but no personal contact information is shared or exportable.

What hashtags should we use for the conference on social media?

#QuirksEvent and #QuirksGlobal

What should I wear?

Be comfortable! After all, you’ll be participating from your home or office. But remember: It is a live video event, so you must wear clothing!

I just want to see one session. Do I still have to register for the event?

Yes.

Do I have to attend the entire event?

Virtual events bring the experience of an in-person conference to your personal computer, so just like an in-person conference, you have the freedom to pick the sessions you attend. But attending the event in its entirety – the sessions, the breakouts, the virtual trade show – will help you to get the most out of the experience. But you are not required to attend the entire day. Come and go as you please over the three days. 

What time does the conference start?

Day 1 (October 11) – 9:00 a.m. ET 

Day 2 (October 12) – 9:00 a.m. ET

Day 3 (October 13) – 9:00 a.m. ET

Do I need to have a webcam/microphone for the event?

Although you do not need a webcam/microphone to attend virtual events, you’re encouraged to use your webcam during roundtables and networking events to allow for a face-to-face experience with other attendees.

How do I log in on the day of the event?
