ACFI Annual
Fraud Conference 2025

3 days of industry leading talks
September 29, 20 & October 1, 2025

One of the biggest reasons to attend an in-person fraud conference is networking. Meeting professionals in the fraud prevention and detection field provides an invaluable opportunity to exchange ideas, build relationships, and explore potential collaborations or job opportunities. Whether in person or online, conferences are an excellent platform to learn new fraud techniques and tactics. Since fraud methods are constantly evolving, expert speakers share insights on the latest trends, tools, and technologies designed to combat fraud. This conference also offers you the chance to explore industry best practices; proven strategies, and real-world case studies that can help you enhance your own approach to fraud prevention. Stay informed, sharpen your skills, and connect with others who share similar challenges in combating fraud.
