Path to Purchase Expo to include Consumer Goods Sales & Marketing Summit
This year’s Path to Purchase Expo (P2PX) will include the co-located Consumer Goods Sales & Marketing Summit (CGSM), adding even more thought leadership and unique business opportunities to the already extensive expo agenda.
Hosted by the Path to Purchase Institute, a sister organization of Convenience Store News Canada, the 2019 Path to Purchase Expo will be held Nov. 13-14 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. P2PX is the world’s largest gathering of brand manufacturers, retailers, agency professionals and solution providers for marketing to shoppers.
By co-locating these events, the expo will bring together the top information technology-focused executives who attend CGSM each year with the leading shopper marketers and consumer engagement specialists who attend P2PX each year.
With the need to leverage technology to drive a deeper understanding of, and stronger relationships with, consumers becoming ever-more critical, there has never been a better time for these two camps to align their strategic thinking.
The speaker lineup for the 14th annual Consumer Goods Sales & Marketing Summit will include such leading industry names as Sandeep Dadlani, chief digital officer of Mars Inc.; Michelle Lam, CEO and co-founder of True&Co.; and veteran industry analyst Shelly Palmer. Among the ranks of its sponsoring solution providers are DXC, Prevedere and UpClear.
In addition to the high-level thought leadership and game-changing solutions they’ve experienced in the past, CGSM attendees will now be able to enjoy more content, more solution providers, and more networking opportunities with a broader array of industry colleagues.
The lineup for the 28th annual Path to Purchase Expo currently boasts more than 100 speakers on five stages and 75-plus solution providers on an all-inclusive show floor. This year, all events are taking place within a uniquely collaborative environment that brings all of the education, exhibits, meals and snack breaks into one “campus.” CGSM attendees will have access to the full P2PX agenda.
