Join iMedia, GeoPoll, and the MERL Tech Initiative (MTI) for a Happy Hour during the SBCC Summit in Panama City. We’ll gather with some 40 researchers, program leads, and partners across the SBCC Network for conversations (in Spanish and English) on AI, voice research and digital segmentation.

What to expect:

• An evening of interactive fun to shake off the conference fatigue
• A live demo of AI enumeration in action, showing how voice and AI are reshaping data collection in low-literacy and multilingual contexts
• A look inside a new learning programme testing multi-layered use of AI for SBCC campaign delivery and evaluation jointly delivered by the Shujaaz award-winning youth platform, reaching millions across East Africa and iMedia Associates
• Integrating AI-driven techniques into monitoring and evaluation activities
• Short conversations on voice research, AI data streams, and digital audience segmentation
• Drinks, snacks, and time to connect with peers across the SBCC network.

You will be hosted by Nicholas Becker (CEO), Donna-lee Ginsberg (Chief of Staff and AI Initiatives Lead), Dr. Anastasia Mirzoyants (SBC Consultant), and Linda Raftree (iMedia).

Join us to connect with your peers across the SBCC network. (Space is limited, so RSVP now!)
