The E.T.'s of Retail: Emerging Technologies and Emerging Threats

This session will highlight Near Field Communication (NFC), Mobile POS, touchless payments, e-receipts, chip and pin (EMV), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and more. Attendees will see how these new technologies may facilitate and drive sales, while identifying potential vulnerabilities with shrinkage, fraud, returns management and data security. Sit back, grab an iPad, Google Tablet or pencil and watch as we fast forward retail technology from here to there.
