CSA announces new addition to events team

10/24/2017
Chain Store Age has named Melissa Murphy to the newly created position of event attendance manager. Murphy is charged with spearheading attendance-building efforts for CSA’s two main events: SPECS and X/SPECS.

The staffing addition comes as CSA experiences record growth in its events arenas, and Murphy’s hiring is designed to cement and further grow retail attendance at both events. As part of her role, Murphy will leverage her background in events, as well as her outgoing personality and industry knowledge, to build relationships among retail executives in the areas of store design, construction and facilities management, and to facilitate their attendance at CSA events.

“We are excited to add Melissa Murphy to our team,” said Katherine Boccaccio, executive director of events. “She hit the ground running at our annual X/SPECS event in Orlando just last week, and has already proven to be invaluable to us. We look forward to experiencing the positive impact she will have on both SPECS and X/SPECS.”

Murphy is an events specialist who has organized and orchestrated events around New York and New Jersey. She will work out of CSA’s New York office on W. 30th Street. For retailers who are interested in learning more about CSA events or to register for SPECS/2018 in Dallas, March 18-20, Melissa can be reached by email at [email protected], or by phone 212-756-5059.
