Both The Convenience Conference and Awards will now take place on Thursday 1 October 2020 at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London.

The two events are organised by William Reed under the banner of leading brands Convenience Store, The Grocer and HIM & MCA Insight. A statement from the organisers is as follows:

”Due to these unprecedented circumstances, there is no doubt that the industry event calendar will become crowded. However, knowing the fantastic convenience community, that is becoming a shining light amongst local communities at this challenging time, we are confident that this will be the biggest event in the convenience retail calendar this year.

”We look forward to kicking off the week on Thursday 1 October 2020 with Dame Kelly Holmes for a fantastic day and night that showcases and celebrates the very best people, retailers, companies and initiatives.

”All existing sponsorship and ticket bookings remain in place and will be transferred automatically to the new date. We would like to thank our sponsors, speakers, and delegates for their continued support and patience during this challenging time.”
