At Succeet 2026 in Wiesbaden, DataDiggers took part as an exhibitor at stand 102, where our team spent two days connecting with visitors, partners, and industry peers.

Beyond our presence at the stand, we were glad to contribute to the event program in two meaningful ways. Cristian Craciun welcomed guests joining the Guided Tour “International Panel Providers,” hosted by Joaquim Bretcha of ESOMAR, while Issam Ali presented our research, “Two Countries, One Mirror: How Romanians and Americans See AI,” during the Open Stage session.

The event gave us a valuable opportunity to share ideas, discuss current developments in research and AI, and strengthen relationships across the industry.

Together with Jurnalism Cetățenesc, George Epurescu, and members of the local community, DataDiggers participated in a public debate hosted at the Himalaya store in Bucharest on the topic of coexistence with bears and wildlife in Romania. The discussion focused on practical safety measures, responsible behavior in natural habitats, legislative challenges, and research findings on how Romanians perceive bears and wolves. The event brought together science, public dialogue, and community engagement around one of the country’s most important environmental conversations.

Quirk’s London 2026 was a fantastic opportunity for the DataDiggers team to connect with researchers, brands, and agencies from across the industry.

At Booth Mini B and during Issam Ali’s presentation, “Trusting the Machine: UK vs US on AI and Robots,” we explored how people perceive AI today, from adoption and trust to regulation and human interaction.

The event reinforced an important idea: the future of research depends on combining technology, speed, and strong human understanding to deliver smarter, more confident decisions.
