Rinaldo will speak at the Monday Keynote Breakfast on November 18 at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago, which is adjacent to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, site of the annual show organized by the Private Label Manufacturers Association. 

In his presentation, “Hungry for Value: How Retailers and Manufacturers Can Fuel the Private Label Boom,” he will discuss how demand for private label is at an all-time high, and the industry is poised for continued growth.

The Show floor will feature 50+ national pavilions and special sections for wine and spirits, beauty and cosmetics, and home, health and self-care.
