Exchanges

Your chance for face-to-face time with technology service providers to explore how to best enhance strategies. An excellent approach to meeting a wide variety of partners very efficiently.

How Exchanges Work

Senior-level decision makers book 20-minute pre-arranged meetings, with 21 possible individual appointments over the course of FMI Midwinter.

Meetings are held between technology service providers and retailers, wholesalers and CPG companies. Each company is responsible for securing appointments and setting each meeting agenda using the FMI Scheduler.

FMI will facilitate scheduling process but cannot guarantee confirmed appointments.
