Discover the best trade investment and sales planning strategies from CPG experts and your industry peers.
Whether you attend the conference every year or flip through the magazine for trade and tech insights during lunch – being part of this community means you care about visibility, actions and results.
Every year, hundreds of foodservice and CPG retail professionals come together to share knowledge, best practices and business approaches with one another.
It’s not just a user group. It’s collaboration. It’s best practices. It’s industry trends. It’s Smoke Jumpers.
The multi-day conference is packed with opportunities for you and your team to learn, share and grow.
Throughout the year, we release a print and digital publication chalk full of system use cases, instructive interviews and business-changing strategies.
It’s a business magazine specifically designed with foodservice and CPG retail professionals in mind.
Each issue is packed with opportunities for you and your team to learn, share and grow.
We’ve made the decision to postpone our 2020 Smoke Jumpers conference.
