FATF President Elisa de Anda is to deliver the Keynote Opening Address at \u2018European Anti-Financial Crime Summit 2026\u2019 #EAFCS2026 in Dublin on April 29 next.<\/p>\n

Her comments will be of huge interest to supervisors, banks and obliged entities as the Fifth Round of Evaluations are being carried out.<\/p>\n

Ms de Anda will join a line up of more than 60 speakers, including Interpol Secretary General Valdecy Urquiza, Europol Deputy Executive Director\u00a0Jean-Philippe Lecouffe and Ireland\u2019s Minister for Finance Simon Harris as well as the top global experts on AML, AFC and FCC in banking, fintech, VASPs, technology and obliged entitites.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tickets are now available [HERE<\/a>].<\/p>\n

The event will mark one of Ms de Anda\u2019s last public speeches as President of the FATF. Her two-year term, which has been described as a \u201cgame changer\u201d for the compliance sector, ends on June 30. Giles Thomson will succeed her<\/a> as the next FATF President.<\/p>\n

EAFCS, the compliance sector\u2019s leading annual event, will be the biggest edition of the conference yet. Almost 1,000 C-suite executives, policymakers and top regulators are set to attend. <\/p>\n

The event is organised by AML Intelligence at the RDS in Dublin<\/a>. AML Intelligence organises the AFC Summit Series in Dublin, London and Brussels.<\/p>\n

The AFCS series in Dublin and London are a key platform for industry leaders to discuss the most pressing issues in anti-financial crime.<\/p>\n

The Dublin summit offers attendees the chance to hear from high-profile speakers. It also emphasizes networking with influential decision-makers in the field. This year\u2019s event takes on additional focus as Ireland takes on the Presidency of the European Union Council \u2013 making Dublin the centre of EU decision-making.<\/p>\n
