Linkontro 2023

May 18-21, 2023

Forte Village Resort, Sardinia (CA)

2023 Edition

Linkontro is the appointment of the FMCG community that meets every year for a professional update and to map out the way forward. The event lasts four days and takes place at the Forte Village Resort, in Sardinia hosting about 600 managers representing over 200 companies.

This is where the still weak signals of change are intercepted, new ideas cross at high speed, and bridges are built to unite the pillars of the sector: manufacturers and retailers.

Linkontro is an initiative by NielsenIQ, which has guided its realization for over 30 years. The long history of the event is confirmation that Linkontro is a unique and unmissable moment to reflect on the past and design a more sustainable future, together.

2023 Theme

At the very root of future times 

Today’s responsibilities for a better tomorrow 

We live in days of radical uncertainty. Everything seems difficult. Much is dangerous. The fear that might grip us in circumstances such as these might push us in two wrong directions.   

It might hold out the hope that it is enough to resist because then everything will go back to the way it was. And what seems to no longer work today, from the business model of companies and supply chains to the leadership style of entrepreneurs and managers, from consumer behavior patterns to the way younger people experience work, will instead go back to being as good as before. But history repeats itself in cyclical form only in appearance: in reality, each era must find new answers to old and new problems. In a spiral that can be one of progress or regression, depending on the choices we make. The night surely will pass but we do not know if and how we will wake up at dawn tomorrow. We must work hard if we want the awakening to be a sign of progress.

The Art exhibition

The Excellence Gallery aims to tell the stories of the protagonists of our FMCG world through art.  

For the 2023 edition, the Excellence Gallery will host the first art exhibition for FMCG companies created by an artist together with A.I.
An encounter from which a creative and cultural journey of absolute originality comes to life, generating insights into the relationship between man and machine, the future, and a new vision of the world, confronting us with a totally unprecedented point of view on the corporate reality.

Each artwork will be complemented by a text composed by the author together with deep learning: perfect evidence of how the two actors can complement each other.
