Details
This event is developed in collaboration with Deloitte, and is an exclusive, senior executive thought-leadership event—we tackle the future of fresh at retail, generating new ideas and actionable next steps.
Sustainability:
• Reducing food and packaging waste has become a bigger priority for consumers and food industry companies — for reasons ranging from financial to environmental. How can the fresh industry react with promising strategies to tackle this complex challenge? What are the latest shopper perspectives and industry opportunities?
Technology and AI:
• Emerging technology is a key enabler for fresh foods success — both on the customer experience and operations sides. How can emerging technology enable fresh to become even more of a differentiator? Which are the most robust technologies to prioritize now for this part of the industry?
Emerging Trends:
• Fresh foods shoppers are exhibiting changing perceptions about value, nutrition, health, convenience, transparency and other topics. What are the latest consumer perspectives and how can fresh food leaders adjust to the new needs? How can companies relay their stories about fresh to make sure they get buy-in from customers?
