A new date and format for The Convenience Awards has been unveiled.

Log on to reserve your spot to watch the premiere of The Convenience Awards 2020 and find out the big winners from the premier event in the convenience retail industry. The awards are free to attend and open to all
The Convenience Conference, which was also due to be held on 1 October, is moving to a week-long broadcast series of webinars, panels and social media content beginning on Monday, 05 October 2020. Details on how to register will be available soon.
In a joint statement, William Reed managing director – retail & manufacturing Lorraine Hendle and Lumina Intelligence managing director Jill Livesey explained the changes to the awards and how you can get involved.
“The new Convenience Conference & Awards has continued to receive tremendous support across the industry however, as you will be aware, the uncertainty around large indoor events remains. As a result, we have taken the sensible decision to cancel our plans to hold a face-to-face event on 1 October 2020 at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London.
“Of course, we would love to be celebrating the very best from the convenience community in person, however, with that no longer possible, we have created a digital solution that will create the reach and exposure that our industry deserves and it will continue to be the biggest event in the calendar this year. Plus, you’ll be able to enjoy it wherever you choose to.”
As well as the self-entry store awards, the event will also award research-based accolades including the coveted The Shoppers’ Favourite Symbol Group.
