X/SPECS is formatted to provide optimum opportunities for learning and growth, as well as meaningful dialog, best practice-sharing, and strategic face-to-face interactions.
Because X/SPECS is a hosted event, qualified retailer invitees are provided a complimentary experience that includes registration, three nights at the luxury event hotel, meals, and reimbursement of up to $500 for round-trip airfare. In return, invited participants agree to attend the Solution Theatre presentations, general sessions, breakfast and lunch roundtable discussions, onsite and offsite receptions, and Face2Face information exchanges.
