Chain Store Age’s 2018 SPECS Conference is looking for a few innovative ideas.
This year’s SPECS (March 18-20, Gaylord Texan, Grapevine, Texas) program will feature a special edition of “SPECS Tank” that will feature up to six contestants vying for the title of "SPECS Tank Innovator of the Year." Retailers and exhibiting suppliers who have developed an idea, solution or product that has not been mass-produced and is intended for use in retail design, construction, or facilities management are encouraged to enter and show off their ingenuity. Selected contestants will demonstrate the product concept, mock-up or solution to the panel of judges, and will have approximately three minutes to quickly explain the product or solution, what it does, and how it would be used.

The judges will select their favorite product/solution among the group, and the winner will be honored as "SPECS Tank Innovator of the Year" and receive $1,000. Each of the remaining finalists will receive $100.
The contest is open to all retailers as well as suppliers that are exhibiting at SPECS 2018. The deadline for entries is February 1, 2018. If you have any questions, email Katherine Boccaccio at
