From Research Platforms to Democratized Intelligence

How AI Is Redefining the Way Insights Get Done

What if the future of insights isn’t about better platforms, but entirely new ways of driving human-centered decisions?

AI is transforming how insights are generated, connected, and activated across the business. The question is no longer how fast you can run research. It’s how effectively you can turn understanding into action.

Following The Forrester Wave™: Experience Research Platforms, Q1 2026, join guest speaker, Senem Biyikli, Analyst at Forrester, alongside Discuss Chief Strategy Officer Adam Mertz, for a forward-looking conversation on what this shift really means.

Why attend

The insights industry is at a turning point. What began as a race to adopt research tools is evolving into something much bigger.

This isn’t just about upgrading your tech stack.
It’s about moving from executing research to operating with intelligence.

As AI becomes embedded across research and design workflows, organizations are rethinking how insights are created and scaled, how knowledge is captured and activated, and how teams move faster without sacrificing depth or quality.

A new approach is emerging where AI connects workflows, elevates data, and enables teams to interact with human insights in entirely new ways.

At the center of it all is one critical question:
Do you have the right data and the right approach to power what comes next?
