Experience the New POI Virtual Engagement Platform!
As a growing global community, we are continuing to adapt, and manage through challenging times and together confront the pandemic, to improve our commercial capabilities, and emerge successfully with our teams, families, communities, and customers. As we evolve, and the role of consumer goods companies and retailers (healthcare, and others included) has never been more critical, the POI team has been in constant communication with Members, remaining connected and committed to help you thrive in the emerging new reality. The POI Virtual Engagement Summit takes education and live F2F networking to a new level and will deliver strategies and tactics specific to global and local markets, including regional content and live, meaningful networking.
The New POI Virtual Engagement Platform is intuitive, supported by our experienced team with virtual events, and will guide you through the experience:
– Live Q&A sessions maximize your learning and engagement.
– In-app chat allows you to ask or vote for meaningful questions in real-time.
– Meet the Presenters and engage live with no delay.
– Live interaction in real-time just by joining a table. This POI virtual conference doesn’t sacrifice the networking experience.
– Real-time, face-to-face interaction that makes your virtual networking feel natural and fun.
– High-quality video and audio help you build real relationships in real-time.
As you’ve always experienced at POI, you will learn via detailed sessions around the most current practices, research, proven strategies, and actionable advice (TPx, RetX, RGM, Data/Advanced Analytics, Omnichannel, CX, D2C, etc.) including strategies to navigate past COVID-19 challenges across distributed teams, and channels.
For our many global members and constituents who supply life-sustaining goods — food, general merchandise, medications, and supplies we remain strategic and relevant with actionable practices, (including the successful Inaugural POI Virtual, and Global Virtual Summits) to provide the critical level of support that is needed to adapt and thrive in these or any conditions. We are proud to serve the people and organizations around the globe that are providing vital supplies and we will succeed. We will continue to lead with you, serving and responding with focused effort, energy, compassion, plus commitment to do whatever it takes to support our members and communities. Most importantly, please remain healthy and safe.
We’ll deliver relevant subject matter and best practices for today’s challenges across RGM, Omnichannel, AI, eCommerce, Trade Promotion, Data and Analytics, and Customer Experience, plus leadership examples from our peers who are adapting with strategies for COVID-19 related challenges.
