POI Fall Annual Summit

About the POI Spring Hybrid (Live/Virtual) Summit:
Attendance is complimentary for CPG Manufacturers and Retailers

As a growing global community, we are continuing to adapt, and lead through challenging times and together move through the pandemic, to improve our commercial capabilities, plus 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 maintains consistent communication with Members and industry, remaining connected and committed to help you thrive in the emerging new reality.

The POI Fall Hybrid 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.

Advancing to a New Reality: It thrills POI to announce that the POI Fall Summit will be live at the Hilton Chicago November 4-5, 2021, with the pre-summit workshops on November 3. POI has worked closely with the hotel and City of Chicago on the steps/timing for reopening.

CHICAGO IS 100% OPEN WITH NO RESTRICTIONS!!
All of the POI staff cannot wait to greet the attendees in Chicago in November.

Beyond the live summit experience, the proven (as described by past attendees) 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.
– Live interaction in real-time just by joining a table.
– Real-time, face-to-face interaction that makes your virtual networking feel natural

As you have always experienced at POI, you will learn whether Live or Virtual 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 2021 successful POI Spring Virtual Engagement Summit) 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.

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 advancing post-pandemic with strategies for success in New Reality.
