How It Works

  • CPG suppliers host private, 45-minute business appointments.
  • Appointments scheduled via FMI online scheduler.
    • Participants control their schedule and total appointments.
    • Companies secure their own trading partner meetings.

2023 is fast approaching. The FMI Annual Business Conference will be held in-person and the timing and venue couldn’t be better for trading partners to round out 2022 performance and get a jump on 2023 business building initiatives. ABC provides the opportunity to discuss your growth strategies, consumer insights, pricing and promotional plans, new product introductions and omnichannel supply chain performance enhancements designed to enhance profitable growth. After two years of virtual meetings, it is time to re-connect as trading partners and collaborate - together - to strengthen business performance and better serve consumers.”
