WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Now in its fourth year, the symposium has drawn a healthy mix of crypto firms, fintechs, law enforcement, regulators and traditional financial institutions (especially banks, MSBs and securities firms). As a virtual event, we expect a larger and more varied audience than ever before. It’s a gathering point for new and old players in the financial industry to meet, exchange ideas and push things forward in financial crime risk management.

The symposium is designed for those with mid-level and advanced experience in compliance, investigations and enforcement primarily at financial institutions, fintechs and virtual asset service providers (VASP).

That said, nearly anyone with responsibility for financial crime prevention and detection will find value.

Some examples include:
 

  • Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) officers, managers, and analysts 
  • Law enforcement 
  • AML officers, managers, directors, analysts 
  • Directors, analysts and other roles in financial intelligence units 
  • Chief Compliance Officers 
  • Internal and external auditors 
  • Fraud managers, investigators and analysts 
  • Professionals in threat intelligence roles 
  • Regulators
