Website experience improved
We hope that you are enjoying your new website experience at ESOMAR. The team has been trawling through hundreds of feedback from the community to make the experience a more engaging and straightforward experience for all.
In this blog article, I wanted to inform you of some improvements we have made to the website in the hopes of continuing on that journey of continuous improvement.
Past event archives
We have implemented for you on the events page a past events archive allowing you to access all of our events on-demand (when available). So if you've missed any of the past content do make sure to check out the archives to see if there is anything you've missed and hit that play-back button!
More content on the homepage
With so much content being published on the newsroom and so many events being organised throughout the month, we also wanted to make it easier for you to see what you might be missing out on. So we've increased the number of items you can see straight from the homepage.
Next development milestones
We're currently working to improve your access to our local community activities so that you always know when an ESOMAR activity is taking place regardless of where you're situated in the world. We hope to be implementing these new pages in the coming days.
We'd love your feedback
We hope for this website to make it to your favourites, so if you have any ideas or features you're missing and wishing to see, don't hesitate to get in touch with us so that we can continue to make your home event better.
