When: May 16th, 2013
Where: AmericasMart, Bldg. 2, 230 Spring Street, Atlanta, GA.

On behalf of the Georgia Retail Association Loss Prevention Council (GRALPC) and the Georgia Retail Association Organized Retail Crime Alliance (GRAORCA), I want to invite you to participate as a vendor sponsor in our 2013 GRAORCA Retail Crime Conference. Our 2012 Conference was a huge success! Over 300 Loss Prevention, Corporate Security and Law Enforcement professionals attended the session. Many of our sponsors reported that they obtained very “high potential” leads from this event.

Final plans for the 2013 conference are already underway! The date has been set for May 16th, 2013 at the Americas Mart in downtown Atlanta. Several exciting changes for this year’s event include:

• A change of venue within AmericasMart - we are moving to a larger area in Building 2, which will allow us to accommodate more attendees and vendors (see attached pictures of new venue).
• There will also be no charge for attendees this year so we are expecting an increase in attendance.
• Our planning committee is finalizing an exciting list of speakers and topics for this year’s event.
• This year’s event includes a new format with breakout sessions, giving vendors the opportunity to be the exclusive sponsor for the sessions.

As always, Vendor support is a key driver for us to hold a successful event for both Law Enforcement and Loss Prevention Professionals. Please consider being involved with the GRALPC as a sponsor for the 2013 event!
