Join us for an engaging Q&A session with Allan Gregg, one of Canada’s most respected pollsters, political advisors, and media personalities.
Discover the origins of his career, from his early days using Carleton University’s mainframe for polling, through advising political leaders Joe Clark and Brian Mulroney, to pioneering the commercial and media side of public opinion research. Explore his reflections on how polling evolved from an elite tool to a widely used commodity, and hear his insights on the future of polling amid big data and social media analytics. This event promises a rare opportunity to learn firsthand from Gregg’s decades of experience across more than 50 election campaigns, strategic communications, and his unique perspective on Canadian politics and leadership. Do not miss this chance to gain invaluable lessons from a pioneer in the field.
