RETAIL STRATEGIES: SEIZING SUCCESS IN THE OMNI-CHANNEL FUTURE

#celebratingFRESH atThe Amsterdam Produce Summit

Brought to you by the organisers of:

NOVEMBER 12-14, 2018 THE ROYAL TROPICAL INSTITUTE (KIT)

AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS

It’s a brave new world!

The NEW Amsterdam Produce Summit gathers key thought-leaders and influencers from the international produce/retail industry to discuss one of the hottest topics affecting current and future sales of fresh fruits and vegetables…

Food retailers today are clamouring to find solutions in capturing omni-channel shoppers, and smart supermarket operators are seeing new ways to increase revenue and store visits per customer through delivery, click-and-collect, and yet-to-be-seen ways to build sales. Research shows that retailers winning the battle for frequency are the ones that will succeed. And FRESH FOOD PURCHASES are the key to that frequency!

THIS IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY TO DIG DEEP on the role that you, your organisation and the whole fresh fruit and vegetable supply chain will play in the success of omni-channel retailing:

• How retailers can leverage the frequent purchase of fresh produce to make their own omni-channel efforts more successful.

• How can the produce category and its supply chain participants assist retailers in their efforts to build omni-channel success?

• How can producers, processors and distributors aid retailers in maximising their omni-channel success and thus position themselves to succeed in this BRAVE NEW WORLD?

• How packaging and branding will need to change to be optimised for Omni-Channel success.

• How will produce marketing change if the retail business goes to buying fresh fruits and vegetables via voice recognition – where consumers don’t have the visual cues of seeing the produce or a package?

• How can the retail produce offer – in the store and online – be enhanced for increased impulse sales, greater customer experiences and omni-channel success?

Retail Strategies: Seizing Successin the Omni-Channel Future

The information-rich conference programme will focus on Retail Strategies: Seizing Success in the Omni-Channel Future. Following the acquisition of Whole Foods by Amazon, Walmart’s emphasis on building an omni-channel company, and the explosion of omni-channel outlets in China, it is clear this new method of customer service is the future.

The focus and emphasis on the Amsterdam Produce Summit’s educational sessions and our interactive schedule allows for learning, networking and doing business in the context of this new world of omni-channel retailing. The Cocktail Reception, Networking Breaks and Lunch, positioned on the expo floor, create a concentrated, high attendance focus to the exhibition and also allow our exhibitors to learn and network by participating in the seminar programme.

The exhibition area is perfect for extended interchange between attendees and exhibitors with a high ratio of buyers visiting each stand. Sponsors benefit from high-level value in brand recognition throughout the event.

The APS will take place at the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT), a beautiful venue conveniently located just 10 minutes from Amsterdam’s Central Station, ideally situated for thought- and practice-leaders to absorb information and exchange ideas.

The Amsterdam Produce Summit (APS) is organised and hosted by the creators of the award-winning New York Produce Show and Conference (NYPS) and the London Produce Show and Conference (LPS).

All of our events aim to connect growers and suppliers of produce and flowers with as many buyers of their products as possible, and provide the time and place for meaningful interaction. The model has proved extremely popular, and the NYPS and LPS are now well-established international trade exhibitions and conferences for the fresh produce industry, set in the heart of two iconic cities.

The APS is our third Dutch event and will provide the perfect environment for the international trade to dig deep on the role that fresh fruits and vegetables will play in the omni-channel future.
