KS&R Sponsors the 2026 UTA Maverick Insights Conference

KS&R is proud to sponsor the The Maverick Insights Conference, taking place September 22, 2026, at the Hurst Conference Center in Hurst, Texas.

Hosted by the University of Texas at Arlington’s MS in Marketing Research (MSMR) Program at the College of Business, the Maverick Insights Conference is the program’s premier annual event, designed to inspire, educate, and connect marketing research professionals, academics, and students across the insights ecosystem.

This year’s theme, Academic Excellence. Industry Impact., explores the role of education in marketing research and how it translates into high-quality work and real-world impact within the insights industry. The program examines how research is increasingly central to executive decision-making, spotlights case studies where insights changed the direction of a brand or market, and gathers practitioners to discuss the skills that carry from academic training into industry roles. Speakers represent a rare blend of corporate, consultancy, and academic perspectives, from organizations.

As a Platinum sponsor, KS&R is honored to support the MSMR program and the broader insights community it serves. Our connection to the program runs deep: KS&R Chief Growth Officer Mike Nash serves as President of the UTA MS in Marketing Research Advisory Council. The conference reflects a commitment we share: building stronger connections between academic rigor and real-world research practice, and investing in the next generation of insights professionals.
