On a winning streak

Thousands of fraud examiners from around the globe flocked to Las Vegas, Nevada, where they hit the big time, gleaning deep insights and practical tools to combat fraud from an international cast of anti-fraud experts during the 35th Annual ACFE Global Fraud Conference.



The glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip, the most famous casino-lined thoroughfare in Sin City, and an appetite for fighting fraud attracted thousands of attendees to the 35th Annual ACFE Global Fraud Conference. With its colorful past as a haven for organized crime, Las Vegas, Nevada, served as an apt backdrop for the gathering of more than 5,800 anti-fraud professionals who networked, shared best practices and learned from globally renowned anti-fraud experts during the event. Fraud examiners from all over the world took advantage of the conference’s stellar keynote speakers, intriguing educational sessions and opportunities to earn Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. The ACFE’s hybrid in-person and virtual conference exceeded the record set last year in Seattle, Washington, with 5,500 attendees.

“We were both thrilled and humbled by the tremendous turnout for this year’s conference. We know that criminals are constantly sharing ideas and information about how to commit financial crime, so it’s incredibly important that those of us in the anti-fraud community do the same,” says ACFE CEO John Warren, J.D., CFE.

With access to more than 90 educational sessions and more than 100 thought-provoking speakers in the anti-fraud field, attendees had the chance to connect with anti-fraud decision-makers and influencers, who presented the latest in anti-fraud techniques, tools and best practices. Educational sessions addressed some of the most pressing topics in the anti-fraud field, including artificial intelligence, corruption, government fraud, cybersecurity, cryptocurrency and more.
