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.

– 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.
