When Does the Board of Advisors Meet?
The LPRC’s Board of Advisors meets twice each year. We gather together every October for our official IGNITE summit meeting to finalize the research focus for the upcoming year. We also meet later in the year to discuss ongoing projects and broader industry trends.
At IGNITE, some of retail’s brightest minds in loss prevention — including industry heavyweights, researchers, and key stakeholders — engage in lively discussions and brainstorm innovative technologies and strategies to combat the ever-evolving challenge of retail crime.
Our collaborative environment prioritizes upcoming research projects that address the industry’s most pressing needs. We dive deeper into each carefully selected topic through interactive workshops and case studies, providing a highly productive platform for developing innovative and practical LP/AP solutions.
