Dear ________,
I would like to attend NRF PROTECT 2025, taking place June 23-25, at the Gaylord Hotel in Grapevine, Texas. The National Retail Federation is known for its support of our industry, and highly respected for its advocacy, industry insights and retail events.
NRF PROTECT is the retail industry’s most comprehensive event that brings together professionals in loss prevention, asset protection, cybersecurity, digital fraud and risk management.
I would like to join them to gain insights and exchange best practices on handling today’s issues and preparing for tomorrow’s threats.
The strong value and return on investment come from multiple opportunities for retail organizations of all sizes to:
Attend with an All- Access Pass and earn CEUs for top LP certifications from our partners at Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates Inc. and the Loss Prevention Foundation
Hear from experts across enterprise security risk programs, focused specifically on implementing initiatives across a retail organization
Benefit from forward-looking content, expert speakers and valuable peer-to-peer learning
Engage in peer discussions, benchmark against others in our retail segment, and take away new practices and ideas to drive success within our organization
Explore the latest technologies and service providers supporting my areas of responsibility, while learning how others have implemented innovative solutions
Optional additional bullet points
(If you are seeking new positions)
Attract talent and act as an employer of choice by attending or sharing best practices
(If you seek continuing education credits for certifications)
Earn CEUs that would otherwise need to be obtained elsewhere to maintain industry certifications
(If you are seeking multiple team members to attend)
In addition to myself, I am seeking approval to bring ________ team members/business partners to the conference. Their attendance will allow us to continue our investment and development in our people, showcase us as a choice employer in the industry and help build organizational resiliency and succession. Inviting our business partners from [INSERT DEPARTMENTS] gives us the ability to continue to collaborate in our efforts to maintain a safer, more secure and profitable organization.
The cost of attending NRF PROTECT is $________ for registration with travel costs estimated at $________. Attending in person will also allow me to continue to develop a network of trusted connections that we can call upon to help validate, benchmark and exchange ideas. Upon my return, I will provide a recap of learnings, new ideas and opportunities to benefit our program and organization.
I appreciate your consideration and thank you for your support.
