If you’re in college and considering a career in market research, customer insights, or CX research, it can be hard to know where to start. Job titles vary, career paths aren’t always obvious, and networking with potential job leads can be daunting.
One of the best ways to learn? Talk with people who do the work. Ask how they got started, what they work on, and what they wish they’d known as students.
Free Learning & Networking on Friday October 2nd, Courtesy of the Insights Association North Atlantic Chapter!
That’s the opportunity behind “Your Insights Career, By Design,” the inaugural student conference hosted by the Insights Association North Atlantic Chapter. On Friday, October 2, 2026, insights professionals and students will gather at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business for a day of panels, networking, and career exploration. And it is FREE!
You don’t need to have your career figured out before you go. Come with questions. You might discover a role you hadn’t heard of, or make a connection that helps you decide what to explore next. Networking can feel intimidating when you’re starting out, but this event is designed to make meeting insights professionals more accessible and approachable.
The conference is free and open to students from all schools. Space is limited, so register here to reserve your spot.
Research Rockstar Training is excited to support the conference with an additional benefit. Student registrants with a valid .edu email address can claim six months of free access to our online Market Research Fundamentals Bundle. Its five courses cover qualitative and quantitative methods and include video lessons, downloadable job aids, and reference materials. Pass the final assessments, and you’ll earn certificates you can add to your LinkedIn profile.
A conversation at the conference can help you see where you might fit in the industry. The courses can help you build the foundational skills to keep exploring. Register for the free conference, bring your questions, and start making connections.
