Official event hotel rooms are in high demand and only available to registered, paid attendees. We encourage you to register and make hotel reservations early, as the hotel is likely to sell out.
Once registered, you’ll receive a confirmation with hotel reservation instructions through the FMI Concierge Team. No official event hotel will accept new reservations by phone.
The confirmation will also provide details on making changes or cancellations. Please note a cancelled Midwinter registration forfeits your hotel reservation.
FMI does not use a third-party company to make hotel reservations or sell rooms on its behalf for this event. If a third-party contacts you offering housing options, they are not endorsed by or affiliated with the event and entering into financial agreements with such companies may have costly consequences.
The Midwinter mobile app and website will reflect your registration-provided information. This includes your name, title and company as it appears in your confirmation letter. Please proof this information carefully for accuracy. If a change is needed, notify Debbie Stewart at dstewart@fmi.org. After Dec. 21, 2018, your Midwinter registration fee is non-refundable. A registration fee refund, less the $75 processing fee, will be made for any cancellation received in writing to register@fmi.org by December 21, 2018.

The Midwinter Executive Conference is invitation-only. Accredited media writing for food retail industry trade journals, magazines or newspapers are eligible to receive a complimentary press pass. To qualify, you must cover the event and hold an editorial title.
We limit one complimentary pass for every 10,000 circulations/subscribers your food retailing publication has on your BPA statement (up to 30,000 in circulation). Additional personnel requesting to attend must pay a Midwinter registration fee.
Sales, advertising, marketing, public relations, account management, or other non-editorial professions will not be granted press passes.
Video/audio recording of any kind is prohibited onsite without permission from the FMI media department. FMI reserves the right to request documentation regarding credentials.
