• The world isn’t what it was a short time ago and our personal and professional lives have radically changed. Face to face options have disappeared from our qualitative connection toolbox and we're all now looking at virtual engagement.

• Online approaches for qualitative research aren’t new to the industry, but they are less well understood by many people - practitioners, buyers and users. Each virtual approach, like each F2F one, requires skills to use it most successfully.

• Karin Curran and Louisa Wood are two of the most experienced qualitative practitioners in NZ, both in “traditional” methods and in virtual / online approaches.  

• Louisa and Karin are going to host a semi-structured live discussion about the implications of going virtual and answer questions that people have. This live discussion will be followed by an online discussion group the next week (the content will be tailored to the audience and the questions they have during the webinar).

• We ask that you submit questions when you register. The presenters will go through as many as they can during the live session and use all questions to inform the setup of the online group.
