FMI Asset Protection & Grocery Resilience Conference

The FMI trade show, most prominently represented by FMI Connect: The Global Food Retail Experience, is a major annual event hosted by FMI – The Food Industry Association, the leading U.S. trade association for food retailers, wholesalers, and their suppliers. FMI Connect brings together a broad cross-section of the grocery and food retail industry—including chain and independent retailers, wholesalers, category managers, technology providers, and service partners—for several days of expo exhibits, educational programming, and trend discussions at venues like McCormick Place in Chicago. The expo floor highlights innovative solutions for store operations, supply chain, customer experience, in-store technologies, and retail services, while the accompanying sessions help attendees stay ahead of emerging business challenges and industry shifts.

Attending FMI Connect delivers significant benefits to professionals involved in food retail and grocery operations. Retail and wholesale leaders can discover cutting-edge technologies and service offerings, build valuable relationships with peers and solution providers, and gain strategic insights on topics ranging from digital transformation to merchandising and supply chain optimization. The show is ideal for retail executives, operations managers, IT and supply chain professionals, category buyers, and vendor partners who want to enhance operational efficiency, boost profitability, strengthen customer engagement, and ensure resilience in a rapidly changing market.
