SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On Wednesday, July 17, global risk and compliance technology leader Unit21 will bring together the world’s top anti-money laundering, risk and fraud prevention experts for its inaugural Fraud Fighters Virtual Summit.
This one-day event builds upon last year’s Fraud Fighters Manual which brought industry perspective together in an actionable book. As a deeper investment into the community, the Summit will offer keynotes, roundtable discussions, and tactical workshops discussing how to reduce the illicit activity of today’s bad actors.
Keynote speaker, Mariana van Zeller, award-winning correspondent and investigative journalist, “I’ve covered financial fraud crimes all over the world, and the devastation that comes from these crimes is unimaginable to most people. I look forward to joining my fellow Fraud Fighters on July 17th to share these stories and encourage more conversations like this that exploit the current systems and regulations around financial crimes.”
In addition, global scambaiter and improv artist Kitboga will serve as a keynote, providing real-world examples of how bad actors commit financial fraud.
“Scams and fraud not only destroy individual lives, but they pose a significant threat to the stability of businesses and global financial systems and leave finance service leaders with the challenge of finding ways to reduce the loss,” said Kitboga. “I'm very excited to share my experiences with scammers I've encountered over the years and look at how these organizations operate so together we can work to fight back and beat them at their own game.”
The caliber of speakers doesn’t stop with Mariana van Zeller and Kitboga. Attendees can expect 40+ additional speakers, including showstoppers like:
- Sarah Beth Felix, Sheetal Parikh, Keith Vander Leest, and Sandra Asprelli will discuss the ups and downs of building a Sponsor Bank.
- Frank McKenna will join PJ Rohall and Ronald Praetsch for an Ask Me Anything session on mid-year fraud predictions.
- Jason Mikula, Jason Henrichs and Frank Rotman will dive into the world of the Post-ZIRP Era.
The event is free for all attendees. Reserve your spots by registering today.
