Close Quarters
Fresh insight. Awesome company. Great food.
Close Quarters is a quarterly event series brought to you by Conveo and the Insights Lighthouse that brings together a small group of insight leaders to leverage technology to solve some of their industry's biggest and most timely challenges.
First edition
Good Enough
How affordability is rewiring what people buy
It's 2022 again. Inflation is yet again out of control, energy prices are spiking, interest rates are being raised by most central banks around the world, and in the middle, we've got consumers. Half a decade ago, tightening wallets and rising prices were new to them. Today, it's crisis as usual.
This edition
- London
- Amsterdam
- Paris
Coming next
- New York
- Chicago
- San Francisco
So, how are they approaching this? How do they behave? Where do they buy? What trade-offs are they making? And more importantly, what does it mean for brands, and how should they rethink what they sell, at what price and where, for consumers whose wallets are under constant pressure?
Since May, we've dived into these questions with over 4,000 people from six markets (France, the UK, Germany, the US, Brazil and India), having intimate conversations every two weeks to track how spending mindsets are evolving. Drawing on a rich bank of in-depth filmed conversations, you'll hear a fresh take on a well-researched topic, with the opportunity to go deep into what it means for your industry and your brand, all alongside fellow insight leaders.

About Close Quarters
Close Quarters is an event series brought to you by Conveo, in partnership with the Insights Lighthouse. It is for insight leaders only: intimate meetups every quarter, in intimate locations in major cities around the world, coming to a city near you. Clients get access to fresh data and insight on some of the most pressing and important topics of our day, get close and real with people and consumers, and leave with outputs they can use. We bring together the power of creativity and physical co-creation with technology, to debate with peers how best to support the brands we work for in navigating these challenging times. All followed by drinks and food. No pitch deck, no sales, just insight people doing what insight people do best: thinking, debating, anticipating and, obviously, connecting.
