FMI selects date for Future Connect conference

Arlington, Va. The Food Marketing Institute has announced a new date for its Future Connect and Marketechnics conferences, postponed due to influenza outbreaks.

Future Connect will now be held Oct. 12-14 at the Hyatt Regency in Dallas. Fears of the spreading disease also prompted FMI to postpone Marketechnics, which will now be held in conjunction with the FMI 2010 event, scheduled for May 10-13, 2010, in Las Vegas.

“FMI appreciates the support and positive reinforcement we have received from the industry as we addressed the myriad issues resulting from the postponement of two events due to the influenza outbreak,” said Leslie G. Sarasin, president and CEO, FMI.
