The Private Label Impact Conference. Redefining Brand.

Welcome to Private Label Impact – from the producers of FUSE and Shopper Insights in Action. This is the only event that tackles the new realities of the private label market and the business implications for manufacturers, CPGs and retailers. You are well aware of the pressing issues, now what are the key strategies for all players to peacefully and profitably co-exist? What makes this event so different is the foundation on which the content was built – to promote collaboration and integration. Developing healthy partnerships is the most effective way to take part in shared growth.

As the chairperson for this exciting conference I would like to personally invite you to come to Chicago and engage in the conversation, learn from retailers and CPG’s and help us define the IMPACT.
