About the POI Fall Summit

POI looks forward to seeing you this Fall in Dallas

POI brings together manufacturers, retailers, solution providers, analysts, academics, and other industry leaders with the specific objective of collaboratively improving enterprise planning, trade management, RGM, pricing, advanced analytics & optimization, data management, retail execution, digital transformation, omnichannel strategy, eCommerce and digital shelf, marketing and retail media investment strategy and performance, omnichannel measurement, and the distribution of consumer goods.

Members of POI share cross-functional best practices in both structured and informal settings. Additionally, members benefit through our industry alliances, the Certified Collaborative Marketer (CCM) program, share groups, and industry-leading summits around the globe. POI aims to instill a financial and metrics-based discipline not typically found in other trade groups.  We encourage and enable breaking down organizational siloes to ensure collaborative, holistic full enterprise planning.  The focus is on the consumer/shopper through sales, marketing, and merchandising strategies while leveraging advances in technology.  Our POI executive advisory board keeps us apprised of industry needs and helps us provide desired outcomes for members, sponsors, and academia.
