With NRF PROTECT quickly approaching, the LPRC team is making final preparations for next week’s west coast trip! We look forward to sharing our latest research, projects, and much more with members and non-members alike. Here are 5 easy ways for the LPRC community to get involved with our team at NRF PROTECT:

2) Opening Party
Our team will be at this year’s Opening Party Tuesday night donning the most vibrant Hawaiian shirts (with a hint of Floridian inspiration to boot). Meet us at the Grand Plaza in the Anaheim Convention Center for both work and play.
3) Visit our Booth
Join our team at Booth #945 to discuss our ongoing research projects, new initiatives, and upcoming IMPACT conference. Many of our BOA members will also be in attendance.

4) Attend our sessions
Our team has two sessions in store:
LPRC Director Read Hayes, PhD will lead a session on facial recognition alongside Robert Oberosler, LP professional. They will explore how matching real time images to previous images using computer vision and deep learning could be a new, powerful tool for retailers.
Director of Research, Mike Giblin will direct a session with Laura Lasko, Senior Corporate Investigator of Retail Asset Protection at Wakefern Food Corp. They will discuss technology’s welcomed impact on labor cost and the most effective ways to use technology to advance the labor force.
5) Product Protection Working Group Summit
Our Product Protection Working Group will host its annual summit for members June 13th, at NRF Protect. Join us to learn more about our research agenda and future initiatives at our breakout sessions and project discussions.
