Description
Polling Tech 101
Join Cynthia Villacis, Polling Analyst at icitizen, as she dives into the changing landscape of the polling and research industries and explores how advances in technology have empowered grassroots organizations to take ownership over their own research projects. Cynthia will detail how icitizen has built a polling and survey platform and offer a case study where an organization used the platform to design their survey, launch it, collect responses and analyze the data in real time to help move their project forward.
