Join us for the final DFW REA event of the season to discuss retail crime.
About this Event

Retail shrink is no longer a back-office statistic—it’s a boardroom crisis. Organized retail crime, theft, and fraud are costing retailers billions in lost revenue, threatening store profitability, and putting frontline employees at risk. From smash-and-grab incidents to sophisticated theft rings, the challenges have never been more urgent—or more complex.



This program will bring together retail leaders, security experts, and technology innovators to unpack the latest strategies for combating retail crime. Attendees will explore how leading organizations are using data, technology, training, and collaboration with law enforcement to protect assets, safeguard employees, and restore shopper confidence.



If you’ve been tasked with reducing shrink, improving store security, or balancing safety with customer experience, this is a can’t-miss session.



Key Takeaways

By attending this event, you will learn:

  • The Current State of Retail Crime – Understanding the scope of organized retail crime and its impact on profitability.
  • Technology’s Role – How AI, video analytics, RFID, and smart security systems are transforming loss prevention.
  • People & Processes – Best practices for training employees, engaging customers, and deterring theft without harming the shopping experience.
  • Collaboration That Works – How retailers, law enforcement, and local communities can partner effectively to fight back.
  • Balancing Security & Service – Tactics to reduce shrink while protecting brand reputation and customer trust.
