Voice, AI, and the Future of Social and Behavior Change Research

Join GeoPoll and iMedia for an evening of conversation, demos, and connection alongside SBCC Summit 2026ย in Panama. We are bringing together researchers, program leads, and partners working at the frontier of voice research, AI-enabled enumeration, and digital audience segmentation.

This matters because Voice and AI are changing how we reach communities, especially in markets where literacy, language diversity, and connectivity have long shaped what research can and cannot do. This is a chance to step away from the formal agenda, see what is working in practice, and compare notes with the people building the next wave of social and behavior change research.

What to expect:

  • An evening of interactive fun to shake off the conference fatigue
  • A live demo of AI enumeration in action, showing how voice and AI are reshaping data collection in low-literacy and multilingual contexts
  • A look inside a new learning programme testing multi-layered use of AI for SBCC campaign delivery and evaluation.
  • Integrating AI-driven techniques into monitoring and evaluation activities
  • Short conversations on voice research, AI data streams, and digital audience segmentation
  • Drinks, snacks, and time to connect with peers across the SBCC network.

Limited seats available. We are keeping it small on purpose for maximum interaction. RSVP early to secure your spot.

You will be hosted by Nicholas Becker (CEO), Donna-lee Ginsberg (Chief of Staff and AI Initiatives Lead), Dr. Anastasia Mirzoyants (SBC Consultant), and Linda Raftree (iMedia).
