Our Technology & Solutions Showcase highlights the latest technological developments and services that can make life easier for retailers, improve their bottom line, and take their businesses to the next level. The Showcase looks at all aspects of what’s involved in running a local shop and how technology can enhance the experience for customers, colleagues, and retailers alike.

If you’re a supplier who has a technological innovation that helps convenience retailers, apply for our showcase! You’ll gain the chance to present your innovation in front of a live retailer audience, with quick fire presentations and an opportunity to gain invaluable feedback in a friendly and relaxed environment.

You can apply by sending a short video up to two minutes long that explains how your solution helps convenience colleagues. This can even be an existing marketing video or a new explanation of your technology. All videos will be stopped at the two-minute mark to keep the opportunity fair for all, so it’s important to get your message across early! Videos should be submitted, along with a completed form to [email protected] by 26th April. Shortlisting will take place in the following week, and successful applicants will be notified on the 6th May. You’ll then get the chance to appear as one of 12 companies to present to ACS’ Independent Retailer Board, where a final six will be selected to present on the day of the event which takes place on the 4th June at Stoller Hall in Manchester.

Following our showcase, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in our Hosted One2Ones, our business speed dating event which allows retailers and suppliers to strengthen existing relationships and build new ones! You can book your place for Hosted One2Ones here.
