Progressive Grocer Announces Dates for Second Annual Connected Consumer Summit

Off the success of the inaugural 2014 event, Progressive Grocer has announced the 2015 Connected Consumer Summit will take place May 5-6, 2015, at the Renaissance Chicago O’Hare Suites Hotel, Rosemont, Ill. Retailers and suppliers benefited from the 2014 event's unique solutions-focused agenda for successfully digitally engaging with consumers, and Progressive Grocer and Stagnito Business Information are committed to enhancing last year’s well-received program.

“The Connected Consumer Summit provides a dynamic platform for retailers and CPG executives to learn about the latest innovations in digital marketing and analytics,” says Jeffrey Friedman, VP and group brand director, Stagnito Business Information. “Attendees to our 2014 event raved about the networking and best practices shared by keynoters.”

Through the exclusive Connected Consumer Summit, CPG retailers and their supplier partners will engage with solution providers to explore ideas to improve profitability through strategic execution of digital assets to increase shopping occasions and increase average basket value.

Key features of this unique one-and-a-half day event include retailer/industry expert keynote presentations; “Boardroom Briefings” for retailers and CPG companies presented by solution providers focused on the connected consumer; one-to-one meetings; as well as exceptional networking opportunities. Topics covered at the Summit will include mobile technology and apps; big data in retail; consumer insights; digital and social media marketing; customer relationship management; and shopper marketing, among others.
