for corporate executives. In this presentation, Dr. Sviokla
will address how extreme producers are now looking at
today’s dynamic environment. Dr. Sviokla has an immense
background in disruption, growth, and emerging customer
behavior and he’s created some of the very first thought
leadership on the coming world of digital competition. He

Management Review, WSJ, Financial Times, and appeared on

MEETING CONSUMER DEMAND FOR MORE
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT CHOICES
Consumer groups and NGOs have concerns about the
environmental and social impacts of product use. Retailers
and manufacturers are working to meet consumer demands
by developing more sustainable products but are reaching
the limits of what they can do alone. To date, most product
sustainability has been undertaken by individual companies,
resulting in diverse initiatives and approaches, which is ultimately
confusing to the consumer. In 2014, Walmart and Target hosted
an unprecedented summit to focus on improving sustainability
performance in the personal care and beauty industry. Join this
discussion to learn how this initiative has taken shape, where it
is headed and explore how the industry can make a difference.

WORKING TOGETHER TO DELIVER
OMNI-CHANNEL RETAILING
10:00A.M. – 10:45A.M
Splash 15-16 Brought to you by PwC-Strategy&.
Transparency, adaptability and personalization are the new
differentiators in retailing. Shoppers want to shop when they
want, where they want, and how they want – all seamlessly,
with as personalized a shopping experience as possible. To
meet these challenges, retailers will need new capabilities
to balance online and in-store shopping, supply chains that
adapt to shopper changing behaviors, mobile applications
that simplify choice, and a new retailer and manufacturer
collaboration model designed to deliver on the promise of
omni-channel shopper-driven retailing.

and how you can apply these insights to your business. Keep
pace with notable industry trends among small, medium and
large companies and determine how you should adapt to set

CONSUMER INFORMATION TRANSPARENCY
In October 2014, the Trading Partner Alliance launched
the Information Transparency Initiative. Responding to the
information needs of today’s consumer, the Information
Transparency Initiative will enable brand owners to provide
consumers the detailed information they seek about the
food, beverage and consumer products they use and/or
consume. A consistent, digital platform will be developed
to provide clear, accurate and easily accessible information
to consumers. More than 240 participants from 80 different
companies are working on this groundbreaking endeavor.
During this session, project leaders will describe how the
initiative is moving forward, how to get involved and how to
prepare to leverage this important body of work.

THE NEW CONSUMER: A 360 DEGREE VIEW
Who is the “new consumer” we keep hearing about? Experts,
analysts and our own instincts tell us that the emerging
consumer plans, shops and eats differently than the one
we’ve known and designed our businesses around for years.
But individual data points paint different pictures of the new
consumer: she’s younger or older, depending on whether
you focus on Boomers or Millennials; he’s more likely to be
Hispanic or Asian, depending on the neighborhood; she’s less
likely to be loyal to a primary store or specific brand and more
likely to use technology as part of the shopping process; he’s
more likely to be either a value or premium shopper but not a
middle of the road buyer. How do all these pieces fit together
to reveal a functional picture of who this new consumer is
and how is he or she different from the consumers we’ve
known in the past? In this session, we’ll step back and take
a full 360-degree look at the characteristics, motivations, and
behaviors of the shoppers in our aisles today and who will be
driving our business tomorrow.

BEYOND THE CASH REGISTER: THE SOCIETAL
IMPACT OF THE NEW CONSUMER
Six years ago, noted pollster and “maverick predictor” John
Zogby foretold many aspects of the new consumer in his
best-selling book, “The Way We’ll Be: The Zogby Report on
the Transformation of the American Dream.” His Americans
would be living with limits, embracing diversity, seeking
spiritual comfort, and demanding authenticity. Today, we see
the Americans he described beginning to affect every aspect
of our society: elections, family structure, business practices,
and international discourse. In this session, Zogby will further
explore the economic, political and social impacts of the new
consumer.

BUILT FOR YESTERDAY, FACING TOMORROW: FOOD
RETAIL’S ENGAGEMENT OF THE NEW CONSUMER
Food retail is an industry grounded in the delivery of massproduced goods through bricks and mortar locations. We
have a long history of customer service and of striving to
provide the best value for our shoppers. Because historically
we have dealt in a commodity essential to life, we have
felt and been central to the lives of our customers. But the
ground has shifted beneath us. Technology now enables
consumers to create their own customized supply chains
and to require personalized products designed to meet
their particular health goals, dietary desires, and cultural
values; and the things we once thought were paramount to
cultivating customer loyalty may not be so important after all.
In this provocative presentation a cultivator of new models
based on the new consumer will suggest that to survive, food
retail must make dramatic changes.
■■
9:00 A.M. – 9:30 A.M.
A group of industry panelists will draw on their experiences
to explore the ideas and topics shared by the speaker and
provide their own real-world industry perspectives. Panelists
will discuss what should be scrapped, retained or refined in
new and old models of food retail and how these can be
leveraged to meet the needs of the new consumer.

CLOSING SESSION: THE RULES OF THE
RETAIL/CPG ROAD
When food retailers and CPG marketers reflect on the
industry’s historical pathways, the fortune of 20/20 hindsight
likely helps them see a landscape of captured and missed
opportunities, replete with both dead ends and superhighways.
When they try to gaze at the highway ahead, they probably
see a road under construction across a changing terrain that
holds promise of improved access to exciting destinations,
but no shortage of potential gridlock, detours, costly tolls ...
and very few rest stops. Join MorningNewsBeat’s “Content
Guy,” Kevin Coupe, and a panel of industry experts for a
fun and interactive trip down the highway of food retail, as
they examine how consumers, competition, the economy,
technology and culture are impacting the path to success.
You’ll come away with some guidance about the fastest and
most rewarding routes to take, as they help you establish
some common - and uncommon- sense rules for navigating
the retail/CPG road.
