WELCOME TO HELPING GROCERY AND CPG COMPANIES THRIVE in an Era of RAPID AND PROFOUND CHANGE 2018’s inaugural Groceryshop conference was a watershed event, convening a staggering 2,200 attendees in Las Vegas to take stock of an industry that we wrote was “on the cusp of massive change.”

In the nearly 12 months since then, industry transformation has only accelerated as retailers and CPG brands alike have confronted changing consumer tastes and a broad array of disruptive technologies that are upending the old ways of doing business and creating new opportunities for established companies and startups alike.

The four days of Groceryshop 2019 will immerse you in the latest trends, technologies and business models that are driving that industry transformation.

We’re also thrilled to announce the introduction of Groceryshop Original Content. Developed in-house, Groceryshop Original Content includes a wide range of research, data, frameworks, benchmarking studies and visual guides that provide attendees with tangible takeaways. Look for this symbol on the agenda to identify sessions featuring Groceryshop Original Content.

In our four-day exploration of the future of grocery, we’re covering a lot of ground. Below are a critical set of high-level themes relevant to our audience, and some of the specific sessions that address those topics.

Digital Transformation Preparing for an increasingly digital future requires brands and retailers to examine every aspect of their business, from culture and organization to strategic priorities and investments. Our agenda dives into digital transformation in sessions including: Track Keynote: Building a Culture of Innovation (Sunday, Track 1, Session 2: 2:45pm - 3:25pm) Track Keynote: The New Digital Organization (Sunday, Track 1, Session 3: 3:30pm - 4:10pm) Preparing for Grocery Ecommerce (Monday, Track 1, Session 3: 1:15pm - 1:55pm) Deep Dive: Brands Go Direct (Monday, Track 2, Session 2: 9:30am - 9:50am) Deep Dive: Organizing for Omnichannel (Wednesday, Track 2, Session 1: 8:45am - 9:45am) Selecting Ecommerce Technologies (Wednesday, Track 2, Session 3: 10:55am - 11:55am)

Marketing The goal of serving shoppers the right message at the right time remains constant. However, brands and retailers are increasingly adopting new technologies and tactics to market to customers more effectively on a variety of platforms. Hear about the latest marketing innovations in these sessions: Case Studies in Digital Marketing and Loyalty (Monday, Track 3, Session 1: 8:45am - 9:25am) Track Keynote: The Future of Grocery Marketing and Merchandising (Monday, Track 3, Session 2: 9:30am - 10:10am) Leading-Edge Marketing Tactics: Advances in Shopper Marketing, Data and Beyond (Monday, Track 3, Session 3: 1:15pm - 1:55pm) Marketing Lessons from (and for) Digitally Native Brands (Monday, Track 3, Session 4: 2:00pm - 2:40pm) New Marketing Platforms and Partnerships (Tuesday, Track 2, Session 1: 8:45am - 9:25am) Measuring Marketing Effectiveness (Wednesday, Track 3, Session 1: 8:45am - 9:45am) Best Practices in Content Marketing (Wednesday, Track 3, Session 3: 10:55am - 11:55am)

Disruptive Trends, Technologies & Business Models

Evolving Customer Preferences Much of the grocery transformation enabled by technology is actually being driven by changing shopper preferences. Consumers want to feel good about the products they buy and the companies they buy from— additionally, they have less time for shopping and cooking. The following sessions explore these consumer changes among others: Building a Conscious Brand (Monday, Track 2, Session 4: 2:00pm - 2:40pm) Reaching the Health- and Wellness-Conscious Consumer (Tuesday, Track 3, Session 2: 9:30am - 10:10am) Catering to Convenience (Tuesday, Track 3, Session 4: 2:00pm - 2:40pm) The Future of CBD-Based Products (Wednesday, Track 1, Session 1: 8:45am - 9:45am) The Future of Food (Wednesday, Track 1, Session 2: 9:50am - 10:50am) Reaching Gen Z Shoppers (Wednesday, Track 3, Session 2: 9:50am - 10:50am)

Customer Experiences We’ll also examine how companies are using technology to improve the customer experience in-store, online, on mobile devices and more. Sessions that explore how grocery shopping is becoming more convenient, easier, faster and more fun include: Omnichannel Experiences (Sunday, Track 1, Session 1: 2:00pm - 2:40pm) New Store Formats and Footprints (Sunday, Track 3, Session 1: 2:00pm - 2:40pm) Experiential Stores (Sunday, Track 3, Session 2: 2:45pm - 3:25pm) Track Keynote: Creating New Digital Experiences (Monday, Track 1, Session 4: 2:00pm - 2:40pm) Data-Driven Shopping Experiences (Tuesday, Track 1, Session 2: 9:30am - 10:10am) Next Generation Mobile Shopping (Tuesday, Track 3, Session 1: 8:45am - 9:25am) The Intelligent Store (Tuesday, Track 4, Session 1: 8:45am - 9:25am) Mobile and Ecommerce (Tuesday, Track 4, Session 2: 9:30am - 10:10am) Effective Personalization Tactics (Wednesday, Track 2, Session 2: 9:50am - 10:50am)

Operations Innovation in grocery extends far beyond the consumer experience—changes in logistics and the supply chain potentially have an even greater ability to revolutionize the business, both by reducing waste as well as increasing efficiency. Attendees can learn more about state of the art of grocery operations at these sessions: Understanding Blockchain's Role in the Grocery Supply Chain (Sunday, Track 2, Session 1A: 2:00pm - 2:13pm) Track Keynote: Pickup and Delivery (Sunday, Track 2, Session 2: 2:45pm - 3:25pm) Technologies Transforming Delivery and Logistics (Sunday, Track 2, Session 3: 3:30pm - 4:10pm) Rapid-Fire Review: 10 Technologies Transforming Operations (Monday, Track 4, Session 1: 8:45am - 9:25am) Next Generation Fulfillment (Monday, Track 4, Session 2: 9:30am - 10:10am) Data-Driven Operational Efficiency (Tuesday, Track 1, Session 1: 8:45am - 9:25am) We’re thrilled to welcome you to our second annual Groceryshop event, and are looking forward to arming you with everything you need to help your organization thrive in this fast-changing, exciting time!

SECRET SAUCE True to our roots as tech entrepreneurs and industry operators, we maintain a relentless focus on developing the absolute best products imaginable, which we define as events that inspire and empower the changemakers in grocery and CPG. We believe the best products result when you do the right thing.

For us, that means: 1. Helping create and maintain a modern retail dialogue.

The evolution of how consumers discover, shop and buy in an increasingly digital age is our uncompromised standard in shaping the narrative. There's no favoritism, pay-to-play or alternative agenda—we’re 100% independent.

2. Helping build retail’s definitive digital community that includes all stakeholders and welcomes new entrants.

That means overcoming traditional silos, old boys’ clubs and outdated cliques, and replacing them with a fresh and engaged ecosystem of changemakers.

3. Playing fairly and transparently by putting the grocery and CPG industry first, and serving as a catalyst for its growth and development. That means working with others throughout the industry for the greater good.

Technologies ON THE Agenda Every session at Groceryshop will touch on technology innovation at some level. Below we identify a few specific sessions and companies that exemplify some of the most noteworthy technology trends on the 2019 agenda.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) AI and ML are revolutionizing the way grocery retailers and CPG companies draw insights from the ever-increasing quantities of data generated by all aspects of their businesses.

For an overview of AI and ML, Groceryshop commissioned Coresight Research to create a Deep Dive presentation.

This session will offer a framework to help companies understand what AI and ML solutions can do. Attendees will gain a solid grounding in the fundamentals, as well as specific examples to illustrate the spectrum of AI use cases.

Some of those specific use cases are also highlighted by other speakers: Marketing: Marketing today features an overabundance of data, making it a natural area for AI and ML solutions.

On the Disruptive Technologies track, Signals Analytics will talk about how AI helps companies blend multiple data streams, and then extract emerging consumer and product trends. ZineOne will share its approach to using ML to determine the most relevant and appropriate ways to engage with consumers along their shopping journeys. And Whisk will discuss how AI can help companies offer tailored food and nutrition recommendations to shoppers at home and in-store.

Personalization: Speakers will also share how AI helps make shopping experiences more personalized. Weis Markets has deployed a new AI-based customer engagement system, enabling it to deliver personalized messages to shoppers across channels. Farmstead leverages AI through its Smart Shopping List capability, predicting shoppers’ wants and needs based on purchase history and other data signals.

Conversational Commerce: As consumers increasingly use automated assistants to get information, shop, and seek customer care, AI can make those interactions feel more human. Disruptive Technology track speaker Pulse Labs will discuss how it helps brands develop, test and benchmark voice strategies.

Product and Demand Forecasting: Three companies in the Emerging Technology Spotlight will showcase AI’s ability to generate intelligence around products and demand. AGTools synthesizes numerous data streams to deliver detailed availability and pricing insights for produce varieties. Simporter offers a simple UI that hides complex analytics for forecasting consumer demand for products, including brand new ones. Datasembly leverages AI and ML to build a comprehensive national database of real-time, SKU-specific prices at the local store level.

Applications of AI and Machine Learning: Brand and retailer attendees who want to dive deeper into AI and ML should sign up for this Tabletalk, which matches qualifying attendees with their peers for an interactive 45-minute roundtable discussion.

Robotics Robotics are becoming more commonplace in grocery stores and warehouses as companies seek new ways to 1) deliver operational efficiencies and 2) eliminate repetitive human tasks.

Attendees can see firsthand some of the most cutting-edge use cases for robotics via an immersive, 360-degree experience in the Exhibit Hall. Created by the Groceryshop team, this piece of Groceryshop Original Content will provide an in-the-field look at how three innovative startups—RightHand Robotics, Takeoff Technologies and Bossa Nova Robotics—are using robotics to tackle very different challenges in the grocery supply chain. Other examples of robotics innovation on the agenda include: Automated Fulfillment Centers: In a Main Stage Keynote, Ocado Solutions will share how it uses robotics to automate large fulfillment centers for its customers, including The Kroger Co. We’ll also hear from Albertsons, which recently piloted an automated microfulfillment center at one of its stores.

Disruptive Trends, Technologies & Business Models

In-Store Inventory Management: On the Disruptive Technologies track, Pensa Systems will share how its drone-based solution uses AI and computer vision to scan store shelves without disrupting customers.

Schnuck Markets will discuss its deployment of inventory-scanning robots in several of its stores.

In-Warehouse Inventory Management: On the Emerging Technology Spotlight, Gather AI will discuss how autonomous drones can safely and accurately manage and update inventory records in warehouses.

In-Store Technologies Technology is also transforming the in-store experience, as physical retail adopts aspects of the ease, convenience and personalization of ecommerce.

On the Technology-Enabled Store session, executives from Portugal-based Sonae, Schnuck Markets and GIANT Food Stores will each share how they evaluate store-based technologies to ensure they are investing in solutions that 1) improve the customer experience and 2) deliver a return. Groceryshop’s agenda also covers a variety of specific in-store retail technologies, including: Automated Checkout: Automated checkout solutions continue to attract VC dollars as retailers race to eliminate lines at the register. On the Disruptive Technologies track, Grabango will share how its checkout-free technology can be implemented in existing retail stores sized up to 50,000 square feet. In the Emerging Technology Spotlight, Tiliter will discuss how it speeds self-checkout by using machine vision to recognize fruits and vegetables without scanning a barcode or typing a PLU code.

Interactive or Smart Displays: Every part of the store is becoming more intelligent, including once-static shelves.

We’ll hear from AWM Smart Shelf, whose interactive displays show relevant marketing content based on a shopper’s age, gender or ethnicity. The Emerging Technology Spotlight will feature companies like Pick ‘n’ Watch, which offers a compact, easy-to-deploy system for creating interactive product displays, and Tastry, which provides personalized wine, beer and spirits recommendations and pairings.

In-Store Location and Navigation: New technologies provide retailers with intelligence about their customers’ behavior in-store. In the Emerging Technology Spotlight, ShopperMotion will share how it’s deployed small, low-power sensors attached to carts and baskets that anonymously track shopper locations and paths. Also on the Emerging Technology Spotlight, Oriient will discuss how it’s using minute deviations in Earth’s magnetic field, as captured by the compass in a smartphone, to help shoppers navigate the grocery store.

Reinventing the Physical Store: Brands and retailers who sign up for this Tabletalk will share insights on how the physical store is set to transform, including through the incorporation of new technologies.

Operational Technologies A variety of technologies and solutions has grown up to support grocery and CPG operations—increasing efficiency and transparency in areas like supply chain, fulfillment, distribution and logistics.

Groceryshop attendees will get unparalleled perspectives on these solutions in our Rapid-Fire Review: 10 Technologies Transforming Operations session. Three industry leaders will help the audience understand the real impact of some of the most talked-about technologies in the market—and audience members will get to share their views as well.

The agenda also features a Main Stage Keynote conversation titled Innovator Perspectives: Technology and the New Grocery Supply Chain. Founders from AeroFarms, NEXT Trucking and EVRYTHNG, three leading operations technology startups, will discuss how they see these technologies reshaping the industry. The agenda also looks at several specific operations technology use cases, including the following: Warehouse Optimization: FLEXE will present on how its marketplace enables brands and retailers to automatically secure warehouse capacity on demand, where and when they need it. In The Emerging Technology Spotlight, in addition to Gather AI (see Robotics, above) Macondo Ventures will discuss how it leverages machine vision and AI to improve the efficiency of human warehouse employees.

Transportation and Delivery: Technology supports and enables evolving transportation needs. In addition to NEXT Trucking (which automates matchmaking between shippers and carriers), Leaf Logistics will share how its automated, binding forward contracts for freight also help bring certainty and transparency to transportation.

Deliv will discuss how crowdsourced last-mile delivery complements the other options grocery retailers have to enable same-day delivery. We'll also hear from last-mile delivery providers Instacart, Shipt and Postmates.

Blockchain: IBM will share the latest developments on Food Trust, the industry initiative to use blockchain’s distributed ledger technology to securely trace food from its origin across the supply chain to the consumer.

Labor Optimization: Forge will discuss how its work scheduling platform creates greater flexibility for both companies and hourly employees, by enabling people to schedule shifts conveniently across different firms that may require their skills.

Operations and Supply Chain Innovation: This Tabletalk provides an opportunity for brand and retailer attendees to discuss the latest in operations and the supply chain with their peers.

Each one will highlight new, original research findings based on a firm’s area of expertise and will provide fresh perspectives that help grocery retailers and brands better understand changing consumer behavior and other major industry trends.

• Katherine Black | Principal; US Strategy Leader, Consumer & Retail, KPMG The Watch Versus the Wallet: Time Value and Grocery Competitiveness. Grocery retail has always been about competing for consumers’ time and money but the current market dynamics are raising the game. Retailers may know exactly what consumers think of their pricing, but often do not understand their shoppers’ time perceptions. This presentation will address how shopping behavior is changing in grocery retail and the growing importance of a strong Time Value offer. It will also provide a roadmap to help attendees assess how good their current Time Value proposition is and advice on closing the gaps to create a competitive advantage.

• Tory Gundelach | VP - Retail Insights, Kantar Today’s Retail Reality: Why It’s Omni-Grocery, Not Online Grocery. Online grocery is impacting more than just shoppers’ digital interactions with retailers—it is changing the whole retail relationship. As a result, the sum of the parts is more important than any individual channel or digital tool. As grocers finish building out fulfillment capabilities, their real work begins. Food retailers need to deliver convenient services that connect seamlessly with the in-store experience. In this presentation, Kantar will outline the ways online grocery is changing how and where consumers shop and will explore how their expectations differ for the store versus online.

• Jennifer Lacks Kaplan | Principal, Deloitte Finding Growth in a Fragmented Consumer Products Landscape: How Income Disparity is Changing Shoppers and Shopping. Income disparity, both perceived and actual, continues to grow, but what does this mean for food and grocery?

Winners in food, beverage and grocery reinforce consumer bifurcation with premium and price/value brands outpacing those in the middle.

This presentation will explore findings across food, beverage and grocery, and discuss how organizations can unlock superior growth in a fragmented consumer landscape.

Each one will highlight new, original research findings based on a firm’s area of expertise and will provide fresh perspectives that help grocery retailers and brands better understand changing consumer behavior and other major industry trends.

• Marcia Webb | VP, Retail Sales, Nielsen How Fresh Departments Continue to Drive Total Store Success. After years of shopping for groceries in a relatively consistent environment, consumers today have nearly limitless grocery buying options, forcing retailers to establish and tout their advantages to keep customers engaged and in-store. Across the brick-and-mortar space, fresh departments (bakery, deli, meat, produce and seafood) serve as leading differentiators and consumer destinations. In fact, retailers with wellestablished fresh departments are using them to drive growth across the entire store. In this insights-driven presentation, Nielsen will share what the best performing retailers are doing differently in fresh to capture the evolving consumer and to maintain growth in today’s disruptive market.

• David Bilicic | SVP, Magid The Subscription Economy and Grocery: What to Know and How to Win. Consumers are subscribing to a diverse and ever-growing set of products and services, driving tremendous growth in the subscription economy. Subscriptions attract relatively affluent consumers and present brands and retailers with a unique opportunity to strengthen loyalty and generate incremental revenue. Magid will present insights from its proprietary research into subscriptions highlighting consumer behaviors, attitudes and drivers and barriers to adoption. The presentation will help brands think strategically about momentum, viability, how to succeed and what the future holds.

• Jola Burnett | VP, GfK Trust in the Age of Doubt: The State and Shape of Consumer Trust. In a world of deep fakes, click farms, food recalls and new brands on the block, consumer trust is more important than ever. Trust powers relationship-building initiatives by manufacturers, retailers and brands. Consumer wariness—fueled by headlines and personal experiences alike—is changing how people interact with brands. High-minded mass branding campaigns that might have inspired trust in the past no longer convince consumers; in fact the trust equation is being rewritten in ways that brands never anticipated. This presentation, which draws from GfK FutureBuy and Consumer Life studies, will examine the current state of trust, what makes a trusted brand and the implications for today and tomorrow.

9:50am - 10:50am | Panel with Presentation | The Future of Food The United Nations predicts the world’s population will reach 9.7 billion by 2050. As a result, the ways in which food is produced, sold and consumed will look dramatically different than they do today. Indoor farms and plant-based meats promise to make food production more efficient and sustainable. New ingredients will be incorporated into products to promote biodiversity and satisfy changing consumer tastes, while enhanced versions of popular plants and vegetables will be created to offer added nutritional benefits. There will also be changes to how food is bought and consumed: for example, the availability of 3D food printers could enable a new wave of personalized meals and in-home purchasing. Join us for this interactive workshop to discuss how businesses are preparing for the future of food.

8:45am - 9:45am | Panel | Measuring Marketing Effectiveness Digital technologies promise CPG brands and grocery retailers greater accountability in their marketing campaigns.

9:50am - 10:50am | Panel with Presentation | Reaching Gen Z Shoppers Consumers in every new generation seek brands that reflect their worldview and demand shopping experiences that cater to their unique needs. As the oldest members of Gen Z begin to enter the workforce and do their own grocery shopping, CPG companies and retailers alike are examining the characteristics of this generation.

In this workshop, executives from three youth-oriented companies will discuss their understanding of this new generation of consumers, and how it will shape product and marketing decisions over the next few years.
