Do you have a new product or service that could transform a retailer's business? Is there a new flavour or variation of your product coming soon that will drive customers wild? Enter this year's Innovation and NPD Showcase and you could be one of the six companies shortlisted to present on the day. 

The Innovation and NPD Showcase is one of ACS' headline events, helping retailers to stay at the forefront of emerging trends and new products and services. Returning to the National Football Museum in Manchester on 21st October, the Showcase will feature six innovative suppliers presenting their pitch for the next big thing in the convenience sector. 

All entries will be evaluated by ACS’s Independent Retailer Board, who will select a shortlist of six entries to present at the event along with a display stand and product sampling opportunities in the networking area. A select number of entries will also be featured as ‘Highly Commended’, which gives you a stand in the networking area and the opportunity for product sampling.

Please fill out this form here to submit your entry.

The Showcase will be followed by our Hosted One2Ones event at 2:00pm, designed to facilitate meaningful business connections between retailers and suppliers in a focused, fast-paced format, followed by a networking dinner. 

For suppliers that are not part of ACS' Supplier Packages, a small fee will apply which will cover two spaces at the Hosted One2One event.
