AMR Supply Chain Executive Conference, May 29, 2009
The Phoenician Resort and Spa, Scottsdale, AZ

Thom Blischok, IRI’s President of Consulting and Innovation, is participating in a panel discussion on the evolving shopper and strategies retailers should implement to stay ahead of the curve and thrive. The 2009 Supply Chain Executive Conference theme focuses on how consumer, business, and financial value are based on intellectual property, rather than simply low-cost manufacturing and distribution. In other words, a new era of economics has dawned that is more about ideas and art than metal and oil. Companies have the opportunity to become captains of this content economy by moving beyond lowest-cost delivery to an enriched consumer experience and greater brand value.

CPG Forecasting and Planning Forum, May 27-28, 2009
Intercontinental, Chicago, IL

IRI will be present at booth #1 throughout the show with representatives available to discuss forecasting, price and promotions solutions. The Consumer Packaged Goods Forecasting & Planning Summit brings the intelligence, innovation, and leadership of the CPG industry together in one place at one time. The Summit is known for its interactive format, encouraging audience interaction and participation. Through incisive plenary sessions, cut-through-the-hype onstage conversations, rapid-fire "high order bits" and "show me" presentations and in-depth workshops, executives from CPG businesses will present their unique perspective on the strategic planning, S&OP, forecasting, supply chain management & pricing. You'll learn what business models and processes are working, what's next on the horizon, and how all of this will affect your own business.
