The Pet Food & Pet Supplies Efficient Program Planning Session (EPPS) takes place in Jacksonville (Florida) from 19 April to 22 April 2009. Each manufacturer has their own private display room in which their meetings take place. Meetings are focused on gaining commitments for new items, new lines and promotional or seasonal programmes. The organiser ECRM wants to help retailers and manufacturers improve sales, reduce expenses and go to market faster and more efficiently.
