FOUR GREAT WAYS TO INCREASE YOUR AML PROFICIENCY |
At ACAMS we understand that everyone responds to different ways of learning. That is why we have four distinct formats in our program to further your comprehension. Our goal is to help you do your job better and to better protect your organization.
- General Sessions: Top AML experts share their advice and best practices on the most critical and timely issues affecting the AML profession. During the question and answer segment you will have the chance to explore these issues and ask the experts themselves.
- Seminars: In smaller groups and with fewer speakers than the general sessions, these sessions address specific hot AML topics in various industries. Speakers take individual questions in a focused environment to help you clarify concerns in your field.
- Workshops: In a laboratory-style format with top international authorities, you acquire unique knowledge dissecting cases. You will have the chance to work in groups with other colleagues, share ideas among yourselves and exercise problem solving skills to amass real world knowledge that you can use in your job.
- Roundtables: Intimate conversations with no more than fifteen people, where an experienced moderator leads a topic-specific discourse on hot AML topics of the day. These focused discussions offer you the opportunity to freely exchange ideas with your AML peers to give and get practical solutions to and from compliance specialists on how to improve their AML practices.
*The ACAMS Annual Conference program material is at an intermediate level and delivered in a group-live format.
