ADVISORY BOARD

Dear POI Summit Attendees,

It is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to the 4th Annual Promotion Optimization Institute (POI) Fall Summit. As we celebrate our six year anniversary, the theme of this Summit is “Continuous Improvement”, which is at the core of optimization. Presenters, engaged participants, new attendees, and those returning will experience something unique here. At this summit, you will have the privilege of meeting and networking with countless individuals who are leading experts at Global Brands and Banners, plus leading solutions.

When writing these welcoming remarks, and considering today’s current events, and the many questions received from you, I found myself relying on my background in Retail and CPG, plus my health system planning experience. As a community, we overcome obstacles together. I continue to be impressed by you, along with the strength of this growing community, which makes up the POI. That growth is demonstrated by the fact that 35% of you are new to the POI Summit experience.

POI continues to lead the way, providing superior education and solid training ground for advancing collaborative promotion optimization. It is my great honor and privilege to work with Dr. John L. Stanton at Saint Joseph’s University and the POI Education Advisory Board to bring this event to you. The Certified Collaborative Marketer CCM™ is designed for continuing education, including mastery of the collaborative skills necessary to succeed with trading partners.

Together with the POI Board, we have again constructed for you the most advanced and relevant program for your professional development, and your company’s benefit. Each consecutive POI Summit includes your requests and our collective vision for collaborative promotion optimization (CPO). Thanks to the many of you who continue to share your needs and opinions with us, enabling POI to continuously improve our service to the industry.

We thank every speaker, board member, and sponsor who is contributing their time, experience, commitment and leadership. As you have in the past, please make the time to personally engage with them throughout the summit and create at least 6-10 new relationships. I appreciate each of you for your support, continued learning, and choosing to continuously improve at POI.

Let’s enjoy Dallas!

Yours sincerely, Mike Kantor and the entire POI Team
