Alistair Leathwood, Head of Media and Analytics for Asia Pacific at Circana: “Our annual State of the Industry event has become the leading forum for industry professionals across the FMCG industry wanting to understand the health and future of the industry. This year we look forward to another focus-driven event that will provide attendees with a 360-degree view of the industry and the issues, risks, challenges and opportunities facing it.
