Retail Risk – Melbourne

13 August 2026

River Room & Palladium C, Crown Melbourne
8 Whiteman Street, Southbank, Melbourne
8:45am - 5:15pm

Our sponsors pay for this event, so please be sure to engage with them before and during the conference – they have some of the best retail risk management solutions available anywhere in the world. If you miss it, then you miss out! Our events are NEVER available to watch on demand.

And don’t forget to invite as many colleagues from other departments in your business as you can, to help them better understand key issues and allow your business to make better informed decisions. That includes Finance, IT, HR, Logistics and Operations.

To attend this conference you MUST register. We need to make sure that only those people who should be attending do so.

100% free. Always.

Each event is sponsored. And, thanks to the generosity of those sponsors, everything at our conferences is free for delegates to use and enjoy.

No sales pitch. Ever.

Delegates are never asked to sit and watch hours of sales presentations. And the only vendors allowed into the conference are those who are sponsoring it.

What about lunch?

Lunch is served to every delegate free of charge. And not a dog-eared sandwich and a packet of chips! We pride ourselves on using top venues with high quality catering.

A message from our Chair

Karen Warwick

I’m genuinely delighted to be chairing Retail Risk in Australia. Retail Risk conferences exist for the right reasons: bringing retailers, academics, and law enforcement together to tackle crime across both physical and online environments through collaboration, evidence, and shared experience. Having worked at the sharp end of retail security, I know how valuable it is to be in a room where people are prepared to share what works—rather than what just looks good on a slide. I’m especially looking forward to chairing in Australia as a Scot; a country I’ve always experienced as welcoming, open, and refreshingly direct, with a strong sense of shared purpose. Above all, I’m excited to help create discussions that are insightful, constructive, and leave everyone better equipped to tackle the challenges we all face.

Our featured speakers

We assemble an industry leading speaker roster consisting of presentations from world class experts, many of whom are exclusive to Retail Risk conferences, so you won’t see them anywhere else! You will gain information that is priceless to any retail business, all for free!

Real life retailer case studies mean that you can learn from those who ‘learned the hard way’ so you don’t have to! All activities are held under the Chatham House Rule. The Press is excluded. You can talk openly about challenges in a safe virtual environment
