Professionals in today’s retail and restaurant industries are facing challenges like never before, due in part to greater competition, tighter margins, and increasing customer expectations. Compounding these hurdles is an array of changing compliance obligations.

With so many issues involved, it can be difficult for leaders to determine how to spend time and resources to make the most significant impact. During this special Crowe online event, we will explore innovative strategies – developed by leadership within some of the most successful retail and restaurant brands – that specifically address these diverse requirements.
In our virtual symposium, you will have the opportunity to participate in focused sessions that will cover:

• PCI compliance case studies that spotlight leading practices, the impact of technology in this area, and what’s next for the industry
• The effects of the Supreme Court’s South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc. decision on companies, including changes required for internal processes and the personal responsibility some states are putting on financial professionals
• The impact of the new lease accounting standard, how technology is streamlining compliance, and risks and opportunities organizations may be overlooking
• Changing threats in cybersecurity, as well as how enterprises are managing risks related to employees, consumers, and franchises

From the technical breakout sessions addressing the topics listed above to the closing panel, this event is designed to help you and your organization thrive even as regulations and external threats become more complex.
