RILA Asset Protection Conference 2024 | Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) | 14 April 2024 | TBA, Dallas, TX

Asset protection professionals are increasingly being called upon to tackle complex challenges essential to retail success. We’re on the front lines combatting a surge in organized retail crime and other threats to employee and customer safety, but we’re also on the cutting edge of new technology, implementing strategies to improve the shopping experience and deliver value for customers.
Retailers are all competitors. But at the this conference, we’re on the same team: exploring, sharing, and learning to lift the entire industry. We’re a resilient bunch, willing to take on any challenge that enhances our stores and communities. Together, we’re shaping retail’s future.
