Welcome to the 2009 The Market Research Event!

We are here live from the 2009 The Market Research Event, making final preparations for the opening of this year's conference. As readers of this blog we offer you an opportunity to share in some of the great presentations and information from the conference. This year to help you stay informed and in the loop of everything that is happening here at TMRE as it is taking place, we have several tools in place like live blog posts, twitter updates, photos from Flickr, daily emails, and discussions in our LinkedIn and Market Research Global Alliance Group that we will continue to post throughout the event. If you're going to be Twittering with us from TMRE, please use #tmre!

We plan to be live-blogging throughout the conference, so be sure and subscribe to our RSS feed to continuously receive updates direct from the conference. The conference is scheduled to begin tomorrow morning, but we've captured some footage of the setup here in Las Vegas. Here's a look:

Finally, we also spent a few moments with Conference Director, Krista Vazquez, to tell us a bit about what we can expect from this year's event:
