Today’s most successful food retailers and CPG manufacturers are seeking bold strategies and new tactics to drive sustainable growth – together.
That’s why this fall, the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) have come together to launch:
Collaborating for Growth
INSIGHTS - INNOVATION - EXECUTION
The conference will address new marketing, technological, demographic and merchandising trends in the CPG and food retailing industry, and will focus on greater collaboration, problem-solving and relationship-building between manufacturers and their retail partners to achieve sustainable growth.
Through interactive experiences and unique opportunities for dialogue, participants will take home valuable tools, tactics and a deep understanding of best practices to ignite growth in their own business.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Session topics will speak broadly to total organizational operations and encourage collaborative thinking between trading partners across departments and functional areas. Executives and their direct reports from many functional areas will find great value in Collaborating for Growth.
