Protocol Theory is Heading to Quirks New York This Week
◻️ Protocol Theory is heading to Quirks New York this July to launch Protocol Panel—the first tech-forward panel built through trusted, verified partners instead of API connections, prioritizing quality and transparency. Represented by Head of Data Solutions Mark McElwain, the team will showcase how this "old-school" approach solves modern data quality issues like bot farms and VPN fraud.
We’re pleased to share that Mark McElwain, Head of Data Solutions at Protocol Theory, will be representing us at Quirk’s NYC 2025, one of the most respected research conferences in North America. The event brings together leaders from top brands, panel providers, and research innovators to exchange ideas, explore challenges, and shape the future of consumer insight.
Mark will be showcasing ProtocolPanel, our proprietary survey panel designed for a world where data quality can no longer be taken for granted. With over 250,000 human-verified members across more than 100 countries, ProtocolPanel provides reliable access to innovators, early adopters, and tech-forward consumers—those at the forefront of cultural and technological change.
“ProtocolPanel represents an old-school solution to a new-school problem. By doing things the way they were done in 2005—leveraging vetted partners, a double opt-in sign-up process, and a multi-layered, always-on ‘Swiss cheese’ approach to respondent quality—we avoid modern-day challenges like bot farms and VPN fraudsters that have given the industry such a headache.”
