Prepare for What’s Next in Sanctions Compliance
Recognized as the premier year-end event for sanctions, legal, compliance, and risk professionals, this conference delivers essential insights into the enforcement priorities, policy developments, and geopolitical risks expected to shape the global sanctions landscape in 2027.
As organizations face growing complexity from shifting government policies, expanding sanctions regimes, and heightened enforcement expectations, attendees will gain practical guidance on navigating critical developments involving Iran, China, Venezuela, Russia, and other key jurisdictions, while examining the implications of regulatory divergence across the U.S., EU, and emerging markets.
Over two days of keynotes, fireside chats, regional risk deep dives, and peer-to-peer networking, participants will explore the most pressing operational and strategic challenges facing compliance teams today—including sanctions evasion networks, export controls convergence, illicit finance, digital assets, shadow banking, maritime risk, AI-enabled compliance programs, and data quality challenges.
Join leading regulators, industry experts, and in-house practitioners to benchmark best practices, strengthen your compliance framework, and leave equipped with actionable strategies and new tools to help your organization confidently navigate both the expected and unexpected challenges ahead.
“The agenda was very relevant, and the speakers did a great job. The networking was unrivaled.”
