Retail Asset Protection Conference Resources for Coronavirus

The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) is actively monitoring the status of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and is working with key governmental officials, agencies and health organizations tasked with overseeing the response to COVID-19. The health, safety and well-being of the general public is of paramount importance to RILA and the retailers RILA represents. RILA has created a webpage entitled  Retail Resources for Coronavirus to serve as a resource for our members to stay up-to-date on the evolving situation.

RILA’s Retail Asset Protection Conference will take place as planned on May 3-6, 2020 at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center, in Grapevine Texas near Dallas. We continue to welcome new attendees and exhibitors to our event, as usual. Attendance for the conference has been tracking ahead of previous years as well. 

With your health and safety as our priority, we are constantly monitoring the COVID-19 situation. Based on the latest federal government (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO) guidance and enhanced on-site measures, we are confident we can execute a safe and successful event for our community. Locally, the Texas Department of Health and Human Services and the VisitDallas Convention and Visitors Bureau support convening events as usual.
