9:00 AM - 9:50 AM	Keynote: Achieving End-to-End Success From HQ Strategy to Field Execution! According to the POI 2019 Trade Promotion and a Retail Execution Survey many retailers and manufacturers are continuing to organizationally structure themselves based on old paradigms. Our number one focus is the consumer, yet roles, processes, and systems are still internally focused, not optimal, and in many cases broken. Organizations need to step back and create a “Holistic Enterprise,” de-siloed approach, where the linkage between digital and traditional promotion is fast becoming critical for mutual growth. Presented by: Pam Brown, Chief Commercial Officer, Promotion Optimization Institute
9:55 AM - 10:45 AM	General Session: Successfully Executing Across Channels for Growth with Innovation and Collaboration Realizing growth objectives requires Innovation and excellence, including driving the strategy of enterprise sales planning, web and analytics application configuration and developing capabilities globally. Attendees will learn how successful collaboration (internal and external) requires interfacing among global resources, finance and supply chain managers / directors, and senior leaders who actively maximize sales and revenue goals. Plus how to enable processes via an IT strategic planning team, coordinating resources and timetables with global and regional business, IT operations and IT implementation teams. *Presented by:*

New channels will present new challenges to brand owners as the mature retail channel becomes more and more blurred with the way the consumer shops, having the right capabilities in Retail Execution and beyond, without having to invest in bespoke development is the key to winning today, and into the future. Attendees will get a view into the way the team has used Retail Execution to drive their business forward, the lessons they have learned that improved not only their in-store activity, but was transformational to their business, perfect store objectives, their client satisfaction, and the way they changed the way they worked with retailers for mutual benefit. *Presented by:*
