June 30: Plenary Session

The consumer market in China is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, with consumer preferences changing rapidly. With capital tycoon betting on the consumer tracks, and the rising of new consumer brands, industry giants are all vigilantly speeding up the pace of change. The multiple macro factors of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitics make changes even more unpredictable. In this new environment, where does the increment come from? How to seek growth from the global market and the Chinese market? How can the " Direct-To-Consumer model", help companies win consumers and markets? A new exploration of the global food system is also underway, which will be deciphered in the forum with the future foods which have been bet on by those giants such as Unilever, Nestlé, Danone, and Yili.

July 1-2: Dairy and Protein Innovation

Being faced with consumers, which is the eternal core of the consumption scene, dairy products, as a "rigid demand", bear the brunt of the higher requirements of consumers. R&D are particularly important when product strength becomes the most powerful signature of dairy products. Where’s the next dairy product that has the potential of making ten billion RMB? How do regional dairy companies become prominent in such a tight involution? What is the trend of goat milk and plant-based products? What are the characteristics of dairy products that consumers want? We will share with you the R&D innovation of dairy products from the four directions of trend, source, scene, and product. Of course, we have also retained the topic of protein innovation for four consecutive years. Let's take a look at what outstanding products we have this year.

July 1-2: Beverages and Healthy Snacks Innovation

What is the next breakthrough in beverage innovation after "sugar-free sparkling water"? In addition to stevia and erythritol, there is a magic way to convert 80% of sugar into dietary fiber through enzymolysis. How can coffee, tea, and plant-based beverages hew their way out of the involution through positioning, supply chain, and technology? How to create a better drinking experience for consumers? Pleasant colors, an experience comparable to freshly made tea, and an interesting formula with the combination of tea, coffee, milk, wine, juice, and so on, may become the next trend.


How to make the snack market worth trillion RMB healthier? What high-quality raw materials can help the innovation of snacks to make them healthier? What opportunities are there for candy and chocolate in the trend of sugar reduction? How can both Chinese and Western nutrition concepts contribute to the innovation of snacks? We will explore how to strike a balance between "health" and "deliciousness" so that "health" is more than a marketing concept. Then products by themselves can bring consumers a better life.

July 1-2: Marketing Innovation

Traffic, brand, and channel are the three cores that the marketing innovation sub-forum will focus on. All brand owners are eager for traffic, which is born in a variety of media. In this era of media fragmentation, traffic dispersion, and fading platform dividends, how should we manage the media distribution? How to tap the value of existing consumer markets? When the limitations of the " traffic-is-the-only-essential" theory are apparent, how can we build the spirit and values of the brand from a long-term perspective?

After discussing traffic and brand, we will return to a retro topic, the channel of goods. How can we build a strong brand empire by integrating different channels like new-fashioned supermarkets, convenience stores, chain restaurants, community operation forms, and O2O?

July 1-2: InnoPack

Packaging is the most critical touchpoint in the communication between brands and consumers.

How to consider the new role of packaging from a cross-industry perspective? How to convey the most important core cognition of a brand to consumers through packaging? Faced with many challenges such as consumption upgrading and downgrading, sustainability, and domestic products export, how should food companies design their brands to attract young consumers for a long time beyond different generations? In this year's InnoPack sub-forum, the Japanese packaging design master who created the 0.2-second rule will share classic cases. In addition, creative talents will bring us forward thinking and perspectives. Based on their experience, they will instantiate how to drive brand growth through creative packaging design.

July 1-2: Food & Money

With the explosive emergence of new consumer brands, more and more investors flocked into the F&B industry. In this industry that requires deep cultivation, these risk-takers will be truly tested.

The new brands have subverted tradition and they have created new models in terms of product iteration and brand building. New players are also actively exploring future-oriented emerging categories such as personalized nutrition and plant-based foods. Investors as unicorn catchers scramble to make judgments in the early stages of the projects. More and more capitalists practice enabling investment and become entrepreneurial partners. We look forward to discussing with you the various experiences of entrepreneurship and investment in the Food & Money sub-forum!

July 1-2: Alcohol Innovation

The drinking habit of the post-90s generation is quite different from that of their parent. For them, drinking is no longer for the sake of face, and it is more for themselves. Liquor is left to the amateur, while sweet and low-alcohol beverages are more suitable for daily consumption. The changes in the preferences of young wine consumers have promoted innovation in the alcohol industry. The thinking of "from product to consumer" is gradually turning to "from consumer to product". What kind of strategy can help alcohol companies maintain their youthful vitality? What kind of innovation can attract young people from the perspectives of products, packaging, marketing, and channels? This year’s new sub-forum, the Alocohol Innovation, will focus on innovation in the alcohol industry. 

No matter what you are focusing on, be it strategic layout, trending categories, product research and development, marketing tactics, or packaging ideas, you will find the “Wow moment” in the process of listening and communicating with guests in the forum! We will continue to release analysis in the future, so stay tuned!
