Thank you to everyone who attended the 2009 conference!
ACAMS would like to thank all of the attendees, speakers and sponsors that helped make the first ACAMS Anti-Money Laundering & Counter-Terrorism Financing Conference – Asia Pacific a success. The conference offered attendees a training and networking experience unparalleled in the industry.
Close to 200 attendees participated and took away vital knowledge and practical guidance as well as an array of new contacts essential for AML/CFT professionals eager to grow in the field. Our goal to provide case-study driven solutions to key AML/CFT challenges and a networking forum for AML/CFT professionals throughout the Asia Pacific region was realized.
The program covered key topics presented in four distinct formats – general sessions, seminars, workshops and roundtables – all promoting peer-to-peer interaction and audience participation. More than 30 experts from the most diverse areas in the AML/CFT field shared real-world solutions and step-by-step guidance for compliance officers and AML/CFT professionals helping them to perform daily tasks better.
