The 2nd Retail Bulletin Loss Prevention Summit 2011

Despite shrinkage, fraud and hacking remaining a growing problem in today’s multichannel marketplace; retailers, ever conscious of their bottom line, are increasingly gaining the upper-hand in the war against crime.

Loss prevention has earned its way into the boardroom and now has become integral to the bigger economic and corporate picture. Those ahead of the game are reaping the rewards of improved business performance, staff motivation and brand resilience whilst those with old loss prevention strategies are finding profits reducing on a monthly basis.

Retailers are now harnessing the power of partnerships and new industry initiatives to fight crime. Together, they are combining their knowledge to address a threat which is no longer limited to individual stores, or even national boundaries; but has become a global organised series of attacks across all customer sales channels.

In response to this threat together with an increased awareness of the importance of loss prevention, The Retail Bulletin Loss Prevention Summit returns for 2011 now at the conveniently located Cavendish Conference Centre in central London.

The event will provide loss prevention executives from across retail the highest level of networking in a condensed time saving, one-day interactive format.

Retail executives attending the summit will be able to ensure they stay on top of their game and remain up to speed to win the battle of retail loss. Delegates will learn how to implement a new arsenal of staff skills, technology, internal vetting and data management to quickly prevent shrinkages, spot crime in real-time and drive profits.
