ACS (the Association of Convenience Stores) is delighted to announce that entries for the Innovation & NPD Showcase are now open! This is an exciting opportunity to showcase your product or service to some of the top retailers within the convenience and forecourt sector.
All entries will be evaluated by ACS’s Independent Retailer Board, who will select six ‘Shortlisted’ entries to present on stage in front of our audience at the event, along with a display stand and product sampling in the networking area. A number of entries will also be featured as ‘Highly Commended’, which will allow them a stand in the networking area and the opportunity for product sampling.
The Showcase will take place on the 21st October in the North West (venue to be confirmed). The showcase will be followed by our Hosted One2Ones event which is designed to facilitate meaningful business connections between retailers and suppliers in a focused, fast-paced format, as well as a networking dinner. A small fee will apply for Shortlisted and Highly commended entries who are not part of the ACS’ Supplier Packages, which will cover two spaces at the Hosted One2One event.
Please fill out this form to submit your entry.
