Just as family time is centered around daily meal events, our industry’s communities are center around the grocery store that helps make those meals happen. FMI Connect Communities help you find your space at the FMI Connect table.
We created FMI Connect Communities to help make the introductions you need to network efficiently at FMI Connect. We know the value of being able to connect with food retail professionals who share your same business challenges and opportunities. For each community, we have specialized itineraries and contoured guidance on programs, educational offerings and experiences for YOUR area of expertise. These FMI Connect Communities include: food safety; sales, marketing and merchandising; health and wellness; store managers; independent operators and many others.
Additionally, FMI Connect Communities will amplify FMI Connect’s value to participants with hands-on sessions with industry thought leaders and customized networking opportunities with specific peer groups, ensuring there are real-world takeaways.
