Grab your share of the natural products market

Products positioned as "natural" continue to see strong consumer interest and growth. During Store Brands' 2016 Innovation & Collaboration Summit ("Brand Building Happens Here"), slated for Aug. 15-17 at the Hyatt Grand Cypress hotel in Orlando, Fla., Kora Lazarski, strategic alliance manager for Chicago-based SPINS, will provide attendees with an overview of the food and non-food departments and category landscapes experiencing the most rapid innovation. Lazarski will walk attendees through the quantitative and qualitative insights catalyzing new growth at retail today and identify areas the store brand industry will still find ripe for disruption.

Store Brands' 2016 Innovation & Collaboration Summit will feature an innovation-focused education program that will help retailers, suppliers and service providers take today's store brand programs to the next level. In addition, the event will provide opportunities for private meetings between retailers and private label suppliers/service providers — and plenty of networking time for everyone.

Created with the guidance of Store Brands' Advisory Board, the event is the only conference of its kind in the United States. Attendees will learn how to identify untapped or under-tapped private brand opportunities, achieve greater profitability and faster time to market, and forge mutually beneficial collaborative partnerships.

Sessions will cover topics ranging from sustainability and transparency to European success stories, regulatory challenges and omnichannel opportunities. For more information and to register for the summit, visit www.storebrands.com/summit2016.
