FMI/Drug Store New Roundtable

Drug Store News editor in chief Rob Eder will moderate an exclusive panel discussion live at the FMI Health & Wellness Conference, Sunday, March 18, 2012. Anchored by retail panelists from the FMI Health & Wellness Council, the roundtable will focus on the opportunities for retailers and suppliers to work together to improve the overall "wellness experience" for the supermarket customers.

The panel will discuss:

How brands fit in to the consumer's changing definition of health and wellness.
How in-store pharmacists and dietitians can become more accessible to customers, as not just an influencer of purchasing decisions, but an agent.
How are supermarket pharmacy operators and their suppliers working together to provide simple solutions and help shoppers navigate the abundance of information.
How can brands be leveraged to create a better wellness solution for supermarket shoppers in OTC and HBA as well as food and beverages.
