In a panel session moderated by FMI, the Capturing Meal Occasions discussion will feature leaders from across the fresh food industry exploring how retailers can better support shoppers in planning real meals. From digital tools to cross-functional collaboration, the session will offer practical strategies to help answer the daily “what’s for dinner?” question—and grow share of the meal occasion.

Panelists will explore how to:

  • Address the shopper’s need for convenience, relevance, experience, and value
  • Break down departmental silos to create more connected, full-meal solutions
  • Reach digital-first consumers by leveraging tools that support planning and purchase
