The Consumer Analyst Group of New York (CAGNY) conference is one of the most important annual gatherings in consumer goods. Each February, leading CPG companies present their strategic priorities, financial outlooks, and capital allocation plans to investors and industry stakeholders.
While CAGNY is not a “digital strategy conference,” it has become a critical barometer for how large CPG organizations are thinking about AI, eCommerce, media, retail partnerships, and innovation. It reveals how management teams are adapting to structural changes in consumer behavior and channel dynamics.
For CAGNY 2026, we reviewed every presentation, transcript, and financial disclosure to identify the themes shaping the industry.
