Among the topics discussed were supplier-retailer communications, how to prepare for an office visit, distribution and logistics requirements, and general do's and don'ts when dealing with large retail chains.The panelists included:
- Brian Hughes, Category Manager - Snacks, Walgreens
- Ed Hall, Category Manager, Center Store and Snacks, Food Lion
- Salah Khalaf, CEO of Khalaf Consulting (formerly of Walmart)
- Mike Wilkins, President of M.J. Wilkins Consulting (formerly of Dollar General)
