Research at an Inflection Point
A CEO Fireside Chat with Rally and Maze
Tuesday, June 16th
1:00 PM EST - 1:45 PM EST
Overview
Join Oren Friedman, Co-Founder & CEO of Rally, and Jo Widawski, Co-Founder & CEO of Maze, for a live conversation exploring the industry shifts reshaping how modern teams learn from their users. Drawing on findings from Maze's 2026 Future of User Research Report, Oren and Jo will dig into where research is heading and what it means for how teams build today.
We’ll cover:
- How the expectation to learn from users is spreading across the whole org—from researchers to product, marketing, and engineering—and what it takes to make that work
- What role AI is playing in research right now, and where human judgment still matters
- How Research is evolving into the infrastructure layer that enables the whole product org
- Where Oren and Jo see the research landscape heading in H2 2026 and beyond
- Your questions, answered live!
Whether you're a researcher, in ReOps, a PM doing your own discovery, or part of a team trying to build a more insight-driven team, this one's for you.
