Questions?Webinar 1: Focusing on Focus Groups

Join attorneys from Tyson & Mendes as they explore the strategies for conducting the most effective focus groups. Attendees will learn when to convene a focus group; how to decide whether to hold a focus group live or online; what important questions focus groups are designed to answer; and how to most effectively use the information gathered.
