Networking Programs

Zero competition. One common goal.

NRF PROTECT is where like-minded professionals stand united in their commitment to prevent harm to their retail organizations. The opportunities here for open, meaningful dialogue are virtually endless.

Shape your perspective by collaborating seamlessly with peers from diverse departments in loss prevention, asset protection, cyber risk, digital fraud, enterprise risk management, law enforcement and mall security.

Our programs below are designed to make it easy for you to connect with other attendees and build a strong, supportive network.

Grab a seat and sit across the table from peers during our NEW collaborative conversations. Each table will be dedicated to attendees with specific roles. This is your opportunity to discuss current challenges and future-forward ideas and topics that are top of mind for you. With three opportunities to select your table, make sure you sign up before your seat disappears for these insightful share-and-learn discussions.
