NRRDA 2021 Annual Conference Speaker Application

The 2021 Annual Conference Planning Committee is seeking cutting edge, in-depth topics affecting the retail and restaurant industry presented by leaders in the field and especially including Industry professionals for the Annual Conference, February 24-26, 2021, in San Antonio, Texas.

Each year more than 400 senior level professionals representing retailers and restaurateurs, insurance companies, corporations, third party administrators and law firms attend the conference - a perfect forum in which to be heard.
Collaboration between industry professionals, outside counsel and service providers is a great opportunity to strengthen relationships or forge new ones. Assume a 60 minute session which includes a 10 minute Q&A period at the end.
  • Be creative and structure a unique, interactive session
  • Assemble your team – including at least one Industry professional - and submit a proposal
  • You can seek feedback from the committee prior to submission, including help with building your panel
  • The committee may seek further details prior to final program decisions
 
*In order to encourage wider participation, speakers and panelists will be limited to one session for the conference

Hot Topics NRRDA 2021
This call for topics is based on member feedback as well as trending issues in the industry. The committee will evaluate submissions based on educational content and the value they bring to our industry professionals. While COVID-19 specific or other current events topics won’t be excluded from consideration, the proposals should be forward thinking – taking lessons learned and applying to future new risks.

  • Brand Protection (methods, technology, policies)
  • Workers’ Compensation (Chemical Exposure in the Workplace, PPE)
  • Employment law, wrongful termination (latest in FLSA, NLRB, EEOC guidance)
  • Pros and Cons of Virtual Legal Proceedings (training, usage, effectiveness)
  • Social Media and Privacy Concerns
  • Technology Innovation in the Industry
  • Safety and Security (premises, personal)
  • Private Investigator/client relationship in fraud cases
  • Insurance Coverage (Broker, Adjustor, Client relationships)
  • Plaintiffs experts – the good, the bad, the uglg
