2026 Workshops

The RILA Communities Foundation (RCF) Gift Card Fraud Prevention Alliance (GCFPA) will host retailers, gift card networks, law enforcement and technology partners for a full-day interactive workshop focused on combatting gift card fraud and scams. The program will explore a broad range of topics including emerging tactics, intelligence sharing, cutting-edge technology solutions, leading fraud mitigation practices, state legislative landscape updates, consumer education and customer complaint resolution. Attendees will benefit from expert-led presentations, roundtable discussions, interactive sessions and networking opportunities.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your company’s gift card fraud prevention strategies, collaborate with peers and partners or influence groundbreaking efforts to address gift card fraud, this workshop is your chance to learn, connect, and lead.

Join Amy Barnes, Founder and Chief Heart Officer, with ELEVEN-B Consulting for this interactive and hand-on post-conference workshop brought to you by RILA's Women in Asset Protection Network. Participants will explore the importance of personal leadership commitments, understand how these commitments can enhance team performance, and leave the workshop with their very own unique leadership documents. Come prepared to engage, connect, and participate! (This complimentary workshop is limited to 50 participants and pre-registration is required.)

Getting a confession isn’t the finish line, it’s just one part of a much larger investigative story. In this workshop attendees will learn how evidence-based interviewing techniques strengthen case credibility by aligning subject accounts with physical and digital evidence. The session will cover how to apply behavioral science insights—such as memory reliability, trauma impact, and strategic questioning—to avoid tunnel vision, improve rapport, and elicit more accurate information. Participants will leave with practical frameworks to conduct interviews that go beyond admissions and support clear, defensible investigative outcomes.
