Drive to CSA’s SPECS conference, August 22-24

SPECS — the retail industry’s top event for store development — will hold its 57th annual conference at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, National Harbor, Md., just minutes from Washington, D.C., on August 22 - 24, 2021.

Produced by Chain Store Age, SPECS provides a forum where the country's top retailers and suppliers involved in the planning, design, construction and maintenance of stores, restaurants and non-traditional retail come together to network, collaborate and learn from one another. Attend Sunday, Monday and/or Tuesday's program for only $99. A special one-day pass is available free for those with limited time. Both offers include all meal functions, sessions, exhibits and evening receptions. (For more information and to register for SPECS, click here.)

The retail attendees at SPECS span all sectors of physical retail, from discounters to department stores, along with restaurant chains. Non-traditional retail is also represented.

The SPECS program offers a wide array of targeted educational sessions, with the content designed to help companies stay on top of trends and ahead of what's coming — both of which have taken on newfound importance after more than a year of disruption. The agenda includes targeted tracks in construction, facilities management and more.

The conference also offers multiple opportunities for networking and business partnering and the chance to learn about products, services and technologies that can provide retailers with competitive edge in today's marketplace.
