How It Works

Nonfoods suppliers host private, 20-minute business appointments scheduled through our online FMI scheduler. With up to 24 potential appointments, participants control their schedule and total appointments and companies secure their own trading partner meetings.

Retailers generally send senior executives for marketing, merchandising and/or supply chain. Suppliers generally send senior executives responsible for corporate goal-setting, business development and strategic alliances.
