Three days in Christchurch at the FGC Annual Conference 2025

The Insightful.Mobi team spent a fantastic few days at the NZ Food & Grocery Council Annual Conference 2025 at Te Pae in Christchurch, as an exhibitor and sponsor.

It was a great chance to connect with FMCG suppliers and retailers, including Foodstuffs North Island, and to hear Chris Quin and David Stewart talk about the future of grocery in the co-op and how suppliers can contribute to it.

The conference theme, Shared Horizons, was right on the mark. Sessions on the state of the industry, regulation, AI and compliance, led by Grocery Commissioner Pierre van Heerden and Finance Minister Hon. Nicola Willis, showed how these forces will shape the next phase of FMCG as it enters 2026.

On our stand we showed how Insightful.Mobi supports more than 3,000 field sales professionals across Australia and New Zealand to make the most of every store visit. Our local industry knowledge and retail data integration drew real interest, and clearly matched the challenges many suppliers are facing.

Congratulations to Craig Dowling from Mondelēz, who won our Apple Watch draw. It was great to meet you at the stand.

Thank you to Raewyn Bleakley and the FGC team for another exceptional event. We're already looking forward to next year.
