Dear Esomar Community,
As we begin a new year, I would like to renew my warmest wishes all our members, partners, and friends: a very happy and successful New Year!
January has set a strong tone for the months ahead, with continued momentum across our strategic priorities and global engagement.
At the governance level, the Esomar Online Council Meeting brought Council members together to review progress, align on priorities, and reinforce our shared commitment to delivering value for the global insight community. These reflections and decisions continue to guide our focus and ensure effective stewardship of the organisation.
Work on Strategy 2030 remains a central priority. We have continued advancing initiatives that strengthen Esomar’s role as a future-focused, globally relevant association. In parallel, our work on Artificial Intelligence continues to evolve, with sustained efforts to support members in navigating AI’s opportunities, challenges, and ethical implications within insights and analytics.
January also demonstrated the strength of our global community through our first Member’s Community Circle and a CEO Forum Webinar as well as a series of highly successful Esomar Connect events. We were pleased to see strong engagement and participation in:
- Kuwait City
- Nairobi
- São Paulo
- Mumbai
These events once again highlighted the value of local connections, regional perspectives, and in-person dialogue, reinforcing Esomar’s presence and relevance across diverse markets and communities.
As we move further into the year, we remain focused on collaboration, innovation, and delivering tangible impact for our members worldwide. Thank you to everyone who continues to contribute time, expertise, and energy to the Esomar community.
We look forward to building on this momentum in the months ahead.
February brings new perspective, with our first regional Africa event in Nairobi, Kenya (3rd to 5th February).
Warmest regards,
Anne Sophie Damelincourt
Esomar President
