A new alternative to the announcement cards is a List. To create this, first create a list of announcements you want to make by going to Content -> Lists in Sitefinity, and creating a list. In each item, fill out these fields:
Once you've created your list, all you need to do after that is drop in an MVC List widget, select your List, and choose the "Card carousel with count" template. See example below.
<p style="text-align: center;">
<a class="button-secondary button--big" href="#" title="Speakers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Full Lineup</a> </p>
Note: when the below refers to making two layout blocks "neighbors", you should make sure they're both part of a parent layout element, but not one within the other. The easiest way to do this is to label the parent element (the one you're dragging two into), so you can see two distinct layout blocks, one above the other. If you only see one box to drop content into they're probably nested.

Association leaders from FMI and GMA share an industry-wide perspective on the impact of transportation issues and solutions projects at all points along the supply chain and the collaborative relationships that will carry us forward.
Hear a macro view of the landscape of our federal transportation environment, including FMCSA efforts that offer the potential to create more jobs in the commercial motor vehicle industry while maintaining the highest level of safety.
Too many shippers try to control the uncontrollable when managing their transportation costs. Within the uncertainties of today’s transportation environment, this session will help you unlock the value of investing in your transportation area as an asset, managing from the inside out, and controlling the things you truly can control to drive savings directly to your bottom line.

<div class="logo-wall"> </div>
mg-thumbnail-list--5-acrossThe number in the template you select will be how many columns are used, so try to set a good amount for the amount of space you have and/or the number of sponsors you have. (e.g.: don't choose 5 columns if you're displaying in a very small space; don't choose 4 columns if you have 9 sponsors since you'll have one on a row all its own.)
<div id="pull" data-meetingid="442BBE00000008"> </div>
Drag in a 100% width layout and add a banded-bright section-inner class to the wrapper and a container class to Column 1.
For creating a block-like treatment, first look at the number of rows you need (rows being dictated by complete lines of white space that span the entire treatment). Then, for each row, choose either a 33%+67%, 67%+33%, or a 33%+34%+33% layout element. In any case, name the wrapper class tile--banner .
In each column drag in a Tiles widget (under Curated Tiles, non-mvc). Chose to display 'one particular tile only'. Under Single Item Settings/ Detail Template, select Matrix - Single Tile. Small and medium tiles are reserved for columns of 33% or 34%, while large tiles are for 66%. Small tiles can be stacked in the same column.
Since 100% can't be divided three ways evenly, some alignment issues can arise. When creating this treatment, choose one column to apply the extra 1% to and stick with it throughout every row.

ARLINGTON, VA — The food industry is instituting innovative strategies to modernize the grocery shopping experience
while dealing with increasing asset protection concerns and inflationary challenges, according to FMI – The Food Industry Association’s annual comprehensive research analysis The Food Retailing Industry Speaks 2024.
The 75th annual report surveyed food retailers’ and suppliers’ 2023 developments and expectations for the year ahead, finding that while the industry made key strides in addressing longstanding labor and transportation capacity issues, inflation and other financial hurdles caused industry profit margins to fall to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels.
“The food industry continues to demonstrate its collective resilience and adaptability in solving persistent transportation and employee turnover issues so it can focus on operational efficiencies,” said FMI President and CEO Leslie G. Sarasin. “Inflationary pressures and other challenges continue to squeeze profit margins, but even these obstacles do not stop the industry from its investment commitments to sustainability, emerging technologies, and marketing and modernization strategies that improve the in-store shopping experience.”
The report found large operational improvements across the board. Both retailers and suppliers reported significant declines in the negative impacts of supply chain and transportation capacity issues that have plagued the industry. The percentage of retailers emphasizing negative impacts from trucking/transportation challenges declined from 79% to 35%, while suppliers noted a decline from 72% to 58%.
By addressing these persistent supply chain issues, retailers also reported a dramatic drop in out-of-stock rates, falling from 10.7% in 2022 to 6.5% in 2023, which is even lower than the typical historic rate of 8%.
Retailers and suppliers report employee retention, another persistent hot-button issue for the industry, improved in 2023. Food retailers and suppliers offered more positive feedback about their ability to recruit and retain quality talent, with average turnover rates for food retail employees falling slightly from a historic high of 65% in 2022 to 58% last year.
As supply chain, transportation, and labor pressures eased, the number one challenge currently facing the industry has become asset protection, with 85% of food retailers citing increasing theft and fraud as the biggest problems negatively affecting business. Additionally, two-thirds (64%) of retail respondents cited societal challenges, including a lack of civility, drug use, and violence, as issues that negatively impact operations. However, despite these concerns, FMI's Asset Protection Survey found that more than 80% of retailers have plans in place to address many of these challenges.
Retailers and suppliers also note the negative impacts of inflation and the increasingly complex regulatory environment on net profits. Food retailer profit margins fell from 2.3% in 2022 to pre- COVID- 19 pandemic levels of 1.6% in 2023, with both retailers and suppliers anticipating that operating costs will increase in 2024, leading just 13% of food retailers to believe their profits will increase this year. Sixty-five percent of retailers also expressed concerns that inflation and economic challenges will change shopper behaviors.
Yet this murky economic outlook is not preventing investments in innovative strategies to improve customer experience and increase growth. Top initiatives include experimenting with in-store technologies to enhance the shopping experience (81%). Retailers are also responding to changing consumer habits by increasing in-store space for freshly prepared grab-and-go items (79%) and carrying more private brand items (67%) and locally sourced foods (57%).
Technology is also playing a bigger role in the grocery shopping experience, with 41% of food retailers and 69% of food suppliers reporting using artificial intelligence (AI) for parts of their businesses—the retailer usage percentage nearly doubling year over year. Food industry companies are often using AI for assortment planning and replenishment, as well as supply chain logistics.
For Media:
Generally used on landing pages.
Drag in a three column layout and add tile--banner and tile--row classes to the wrapper.
This variation of the tile-banner is intended to span the width of the screen, so make sure that you don't set this up inside another layout area with a max width.
In each column drag in a Tiles widget (under Curated Tiles, non-mvc). Chose to display 'one particular tile only'. Under Single Item Settings/ Detail Template, select Matrix - Single Tile.
All icon spans must include an "fmi-icon" class in addition to the classes listed below. (e.g. <span class="fmi-icon fmi-icon-calendar"></span>)
Also, if you will be using the icon inline with some text next to it: use a 'spacer-left' or 'spacer-right' class like so:
<span class="fmi-icon fmi-icon-calendar spacer-right"></span> calendarSee all icons
To display a large icon, use a large-icon class on the icon element.
Add a icon-badge class to an icon to give it a dark circular background.
To edit/add section icons (the green circle with an icon that appears on most pages).
In the admin navigate to Content > Section Icons
In the Title field of your image, prefix your title with mg-caption: . The caption will be added automatically.
Here are the updated IDs for all Categories.
If the category is a "sub category" (i.e. nested under something else), the ID of its parent appears in the third column - otherwise this column says "NULL" and can be ignored. We included this because it is important for determining whether you're looking at the "Training & Development" (ID=20) which is its own top-level category or if you're looking at the "Training & Development" which is nested underneath Education.
