CPG Leadership Meet 2022
Omnichannel Approaches for Tomorrow’s D2C Markets
29th April, Mumbai | 20th May, Delhi | 24th June, Bangalore
The Bizom CPG Leadership Meet 2022 brings together CPG leaders who are innovating their omnichannel approaches for D2C markets of the future.
As millennial shoppers turn to digital channels in the new normal, it has become critical for CPG brands to optimize their route to market models. They have to be ready to cater to the changing omnichannel demands of the consumer.
But what channels do consumers use the most while shopping?
What can you learn from the digitization journeys of your peers?
How can CPG brands leverage digital solutions to refine their omnichannel strategy?
What are their motivations?
The Bizom CPG Leadership Meet addresses these questions by bringing together expert practitioners and leaders in the consumer goods space. Our speakers will talk about their technological journeys and growth opportunities that have opened from their digital innovations. We hope it will spark meaningful discussions for our delegates.
Join the conversation.
