Newly Formed CORCA Will Hold 1st Annual Conference on Sept. 8 in
Charlotte, NC
 The
Carolinas Organized Retail Crime Alliance (CORCA) will host its premier
Annual Conference on September 8, 2016 in Charlotte, NC with a Welcome Reception
on the evening of September 7.
Formed in February 2016, CORCA is a partnership
organized through the North Carolina Retail Merchants Association (NCRMA) and
the South Carolina Retail Association (SCRA). CORCA is an Alliance of retail
businesses and law enforcement agencies working to combat organized retail crime
activity in the Carolinas, through the Retail Consumer Alliance Foundation.
The CORCA Conference will bring together experts specializing in fields such
as loss prevention, security, risk management and emergency management along
with law enforcement, prosecutors and policy makers. This event will provide an
opportunity to network, learn about the trends surrounding retail crime in the
Carolinas, and connect with vendors on innovative products in the field today. A
wide-range of topics will be covered throughout the day at both the general and
breakout sessions. Presentations will be focused on some of the most pressing
issues, such as organized retail crime, cybersecurity, return fraud, e-commerce,
asset protection technology, and the private and public sector partnerships in
the Carolinas.
The incomparable exchange of knowledge will benefit
retailers and law enforcement across the Carolinas. North and South Carolina are
a hub for organized retail crime w ith major thoroughfares such as I-26, I-40,
I-85 and I-95, running along the eastern corridor and right through the
Carolinas. It is imperative that we work together to strengthen and expand this
alliance, because together we can better identify organized retail theft
networks and combat retail crime.
We invite you to join us at the Annual
Conference. We believe you will strongly benefit from the information-sharing,
face-to-face networking and educational seminars.
Online registration is open now. Early-bird registration ends August 12.
Vendors and company supporters: We
are currently scheduling seminars, meals and activities for the CORCA conference
and welcome your sponsorship. Sponsorship packages and information are available
here.
