Competing with national retail giants is challenging for local retailers with smaller marketing budgets, so innovation is critical. Two of Western Canada's key retailers are tackling that ongoing battle with new initiatives: Overwaitea Food Group's Dan Howe will highlight innovative in-store programs at the group's new Calgary stores; while Lisa Gorchinski will focus on partnership programs that have driven success for Calgary Co-op.

 And bringing a brand POV to the table, Campbell’s senior shopper marketing manager Mike Dickoff will lead discussion on the overall challenges and opportunities for brands and retailers in western provinces.
