Asset protection and grocery resilience continue to be crucial in today's volatile landscape, especially given the challenges posed by supply chain disruptions, inflation, weather, civil unrest and changing consumer behaviors.
The 2025 FMI Asset Protection and Grocery Resilience Conference (APGR), will gather loss prevention, risk management, workplace safety and crisis management professionals in the food retail industry to explore innovative approaches and emerging trends. Previous APGR conferences have included topics such as de-escalation, supporting high-risk stores, mental resilience, safeguarding the food supply chain and workplace violence.
