Who should attend?

This forum will benefit private sector compliance professionals, state and federal regulators, law enforcement, multilateral agencies, financial crime experts, sanctions compliance consultants, and anyone working or interested in related fields. This event will give professionals the opportunity to exchange ideas, experiences, and learn new techniques in their given areas.

Follow the Money

“Following the money” is a proven strategy for government agencies pursuing WMD proliferators and violent extremist groups. Meanwhile, private sector institutions are desperate to catch up with the newest techniques for detecting and tracing the transactions of these groups and not falling foul of the toughest and most strictly enforced sanctions in U.S. history.

Participants will learn about the latest sanctions evasion typologies, how to apply machine learning for more effective screening, and how sanctions compliance differs within different sectors like fintech and cryptocurrency exchanges. Breakout sessions will give participants the opportunity to trace the transnational workings of a real North Korean proliferation-financing operation, follow a blockchain forensics investigation of a cryptocurrency case, and learn how network analysis tools can aid investigators. View the full agenda.
