Meet us at Groceryshop 2024

October 7-9, 2024 | Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas

Streamline your business and deliver customer value

Grocers and consumer product goods (CPG) brands need to balance customer experience, speed, and cost of service to be successful. There is an ongoing need for transformation to reduce expenses and, at the same time, execute front-to-back changes to find a competitive edge. At Groceryshop, we will be part of the discussions on the way forward as we share our industry experience and perspectives across an increasingly dynamic landscape.

Join Lindsey Mazza and other panel experts!

Monday, October 7 | 4:00 – 4:00 PM PT

Continued grocery supply chain disruptions combined with volatile consumer demand have encouraged companies to adjust their supplier networks, adopt AI and predictive analytics, and partner with suppliers and customers to gain more visibility upstream and downstream. However, manufacturers and retailers also face significant cost pressures, and the strategies that foster agility can sometimes conflict with the drive to be more efficient. In this panel, senior executives will address the tactics and technologies they are implementing to foster supply chain flexibility while cutting costs. They will highlight initiatives that keep shelves stocked, deliver operational efficiencies, and contribute to their organization’s sustainability goals.

Tuesday, October 8 | 4:00 – 4:40 PM PT

Digital tools and smart technology investments aren’t the only ways to transform CPG and retail for the future. Retail and brand leaders must examine organizational structures and embrace new ways of working to keep up with fast-evolving customer expectations. Lindsey Mazza, our Global Retail Lead, will moderate a session on one of the most pressing challenges grocers and brands face. The panel will discuss strategies for fostering collaboration across the organization, setting up and building the right teams, and overcoming internal roadblocks to transformation.
