The Strategic Executive Exchange (SEE) program provides a venue for decision-makers at top food retail and wholesale companies to meet face to face with their C-level peers in the supplier and manufacturing communities.

Before you even arrive at the conference, you can arrange one-on-one appointments with executives you want to meet at times that are flexible enough to fit your business conference schedule.

How it Works

  • Since the meetings are intended to be strategic in nature, with tactical issues best served in a different setting, participating supplier/manufacturer and retailer/wholesalers are expected to be senior-level executives, preferably CEOs and COOs whenever possible
  • Over the course of the four-day conference, there will be time for you to arrange meetings of 45 minutes each
  • FMI will facilitate the scheduling process, but cannot guarantee confirmed appointments. However, each company is responsible for securing its appointments and setting an agenda for each meeting.
  • Manufacturers, suppliers and service providers will host the meetings in pre-assigned private meeting rooms at the National Doral Miami in Miami, Florida.
