Simon Uwins, chief marketing officer of Tesco's Fresh & Easy, will present "The Story of Fresh & Easy," sharing how Tesco brought its philosophy of creating value for its customers to the U.S. He will discuss how Tesco used research to determine how it would create value for customers in the United States, as well as how Tesco is performing with the creation of the brand, the stores, and the company.

Lisa Klauser, v.p., Consumer & Customer Solutions, Unilever North America, will present "Shopper Showdown: How to Thrive in the New Economy." She will explore how consumers are evolving their shopping behavior and adjusting store and brand choices to offset increasing food and fuel prices.
