The National Retail Federation’s (NRF) 2025 PROTECT Conference officially began last night with not one but two opening parties at the Gaylord Resort in Grapevine, Texas.
First, attendees were invited to a Texas Pre-Game Party at the Texas Station Sports Bar and Grill, where they could find light bites and drinks while meeting up with friends old and new (and enjoying the epic 54-foot flat screen TV!) 
Next, everyone was able to enjoy the best of the Texas State Fair at the official NRF PROTECT Opening Party. Here there were a variety of fair foods to try, drinks to enjoy, yard games to play, and of course networking galore.
The annual event continues today, with an opening motivational keynote on “Unleashing Your Hero” featuring Motivational Speaker Kevin Brown, many educational sessions covering the biggest topics in loss prevention, the Expo Experience, the NRF PROTECT Awards Ceremony, and so much more.
