FEMA CPG and manufacturer members will host a casual conversation to break down unusual and misunderstood topics that complicate relationships within a supply chain. Both sides address how to respectfully engage each other so that all parties can meet their business objectives, protect intellectual property, and follow appropriate regulations. Through informal dialogue, suppliers and customers can find ways to work together to achieve a final common goal--making tasty food and beverages for consumers to enjoy. Panelists:
