B2B MEETINGS

FMITech

The food industry has been disrupted by a global pandemic, supply chain issues, workforce shortages, and an accelerating pace of tech-fueled innovation. FMItech at Midwinter facilitates conversations, explorations, and private exchanges for FMI Midwinter attendees focused on technology, ecommerce, and automation strategies to create actionable next steps and enhance your technology strategy.

Talks

Our tech-focused education sessions will keep you up to date, shed light on upcoming trends and prepare you for the future of food industry tech.

Pitches

Be in the know with the cutting edge tech that’s making waves in food retail by hearing from early-stage startups firsthand!

After competing in a series of virtual pitch competitions this fall, the 6 top scoring start-up companies will join FMItech Talks to pitch to you and a dynamic panel of judges. We're excited to then name an ultimate pitch winner live from the Midwinter Executive Conference.

Exchanges

Technology service providers schedule direct meetings with retail, wholesale and product supplier partners to explore how you can best help enhance their technology strategy. An excellent approach to meeting a wide variety of partners very efficiently.
