CGA Strategic Conference 2019
IDENTIFY AND FILL THE GAPS IN YOUR BUSINESS Palm Springs, CA | September 29 – October 1
The California Grocers Association Strategic Conference is one of the most productive business events of the year, featuring an agenda packed full of insightful educational sessions, numerous networking opportunities and our signature one-on-one retailer/supplier meetings. Immerse yourself in the business of grocery in California.
California’s diverse and hypercompetitive grocery business has reached a transitional moment. The industry’s well-established reputation for predictability has turned towards a future that is fast-paced, experimental and increasingly uncertain. Evolutionary changes across all the industry have created gaps between the industry’s legacy structures and the new requirements for success. These openings can be seen in the uneven adoption of technology, shifts in corporate leadership and employee culture and the collaboration gaps from producer to consumer. And where these gaps appear, competitors or new intermediaries are poised to take advantage. Grocers and their business partners are shifting their resources and deploying novel partnerships in order to differentiate themselves and achieve separation form their competitors. Come join us as we identify and fill these gaps while helping you to build stronger connections with your most important business partners.
