17th ANNUAL COUNTERTERRORISM AND FINANCIAL CRIMES VIRTUAL FORUM

Thursday, Aug. 18 | 8 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. ET

Register Now

We're excited to offer a virtual option for our 17th Annual Counterterrorism and Financial Crimes Forum.

Unfortunately, it’s no surprise that criminals have taken advantage of the shift to e-commerce that was fueled and accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Criminals are preying on unsuspecting consumers and well-intentioned government programs.

It’s more important than ever that financial institutions work closely with their partners in law enforcement to combat the threat of fraud schemes, ransomware attacks and the growth in domestic terrorism.

To help combat this ever-growing threat, we’ve added a virtual component to our forum this year. We’re livestreaming our keynote presentation and our morning panel sessions so we can share this important information with a larger audience.

Register now for this virtual event and hear about the latest trends and strategies for managing financial crimes risk and learn from experts in BSA/AML compliance.

Note that we will not be offering this on demand, so please plan on attending the livestream.

Participation in this event is by invitation only. Due to the sensitive nature of our content, this event is closed to media, and social media sharing is prohibited.
