NEW THIS YEAR! Working closely with the CGA’s Loss Prevention, Safety and Risk Management Committee, the California Grocers Association has expanded to include a specific program for retail loss prevention and asset protection professionals.
The CGA Strategic Conference is one of the most productive business events you will experience because in addition to break-through educational sessions and outstanding networking opportunities, the conference coordinates hundreds of pre-scheduled, one-on-one business meetings between retailers and suppliers.
A limited number of conference sponsorship levels are available for this session. Contact CGA for more information about how to participate.
