The “EPICurean Fair” Season 11 with the theme: “S.P.E.C.S. 2020” which means “Strategy, People Management, Entrepreneurial Minds, Creativity, & Sparkle of Ideas”. The word SPECS is a colloquial abbreviation for specifications which means a set of documented requirements or often refers to a type of technical standard.
