Phil Lempert, an expert analyst on consumer behavior, new products, and the changing retail landscape, is slated to speak at the National Chicken Council’s July 20-22 Marketing Seminar, held in cooperation with the National Poultry & Food Distributors Association.
This summer’s seminar will be held at the Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation, Greensboro, Georgia, approximately 75 miles east of the Atlanta airport.
Lempert, dubbed the “Supermarket Guru” offers critical lessons on how to appeal to the new consumer and helps industries understand shifts and capture opportunities before they become mainstream trends. Based upon his research, he connects the dots and custom tailors his presentations to his audiences and offers a roadmap to hidden opportunities and the ability to gain a foothold on the future.
Lempert appears regularly in the media. He is the food trends editor and a correspondent for NBC’s Today, is host and executive producer of PBS’ Food Sense, and has been featured in many publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Forbes. His Supermarket Guru.com website is now one of the Internet’s leading food and health resources, reaching more than 9 million people each year.
