Not another conference. A room of peers who sit in your seat.
Brands only at Expo West
The Member Summit is for CPG brands only, sponsors aside. The conversations go deeper because no one is being sold to.
Small on purpose
The AI Summit grew from 65 attendees in 2025 to 100 in 2026, and we're holding it at 100 for 2027. When it's full, it's full.
Members hear first
Dates, agendas, speakers and registration details go to FFN members before they're announced publicly.
Member Summit at Expo West
Expo West draws 60,000+ attendees, and connecting with a fellow marketer at a booth on the show floor is rare. The FFN Member Summit carves out dedicated time inside that same week, so the relationships you came for actually happen.

WHO'S IN THE ROOM
A flagship summit built for CPG brands only, sponsors aside, where the conversations go deeper because everyone's in the same seat.
Venue, agenda and registration go to members first.
AI for CPG Summit
An AI summit built specifically for CPG marketers.
Every marketing team is evaluating AI right now, and most are doing it alone, with tools and advice built for someone else's business. Your team is using different tools, prompting differently, and no one agrees on where AI fits in your actual workflow. This is the room where natural CPG teams fix that together, and leave with a plan, not just inspiration.
Hands-on, not theoretical
A 1.5-day workshop where your team works its own AI challenges with expert guidance at the table.
Practitioners only
No generalists, no keynote tourists. Every speaker has real CPG or AI implementation experience.
Intimate by design
65 attendees in 2025. 100 in 2026. Held at 100 for 2027.
What teams left with in 2026
- 01A shared AI framework, so your whole team speaks the same language
- 02A 90-day AI action plan built around your brand's actual priorities
- 03A mapped workflow showing exactly where AI fits in your process
- 04A peer network of CPG marketing leaders navigating the same shift

Between summits, we pull up a chair in your city.
Our regional dinners are Jeffersonian-style: one table, one conversation, designed to spark meaningful dialogue around leadership, purpose and the future of natural CPG. No panels, no pitches, just the peers you'd want to call on Monday.
