Call for Speakers

Submit a proposal to present at NRF PROTECT

NRF invites industry experts to submit presentation proposals to present as a Featured Session to our NRF PROTECT audience on fraud, loss prevention and asset protection.

Have you implemented a new initiative and want to speak about your success? Do you have a panel of industry professionals who want to discuss a key issue or topic?

We’re looking for a diverse set of forward-thinking speakers with proven tactics, success with new and innovative technologies, and best practices to help our audience handle today’s issues or tomorrow’s threats.

If you have something to say, we want to hear about your presentation proposal. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and sessions can fill up as early as nine months ahead of the event. We recommend applying as soon as possible.

All proposals will be reviewed by NRF content teams and industry advisory councils for relevancy, time allowance and educational content. Please ensure your proposal provides enough information to allow for proper review and expectations.

Although NRF reviews proposals on a rolling basis, we recommend applying as early as possible.

The presentation proposal application will open soon!
