Learn, adapt, and strengthen your defences in a world of evolving threats.

FFECON26 confronts a new reality: financial crime risk is no longer episodic or predictable — it is constant, shapeshifting, and embedded in every layer of the global financial system. From AI-generated fraud and crypto-native laundering to luxury laundering, underage exploitation, and evolving sanctions evasion, the landscape of financial crime is being redefined as quickly as firms can respond. At the same time, regulators are raising the bar on oversight while technology and people must work together in new, hybrid ways.

This year’s conference challenges participants to rethink how risk is managed, reimagine the skills and tools needed to fight financial crime, and redefine what “normal” looks like in an age where change never pauses. Join a global community of anti-financial crime professionals for an engaging programme of insights, debate, and practical strategies designed to stay ahead of risk in an era of permanent evolution.
