    Representatives of the following types of organization are eligible for these preferential rates:

    • Government and public organizations (at federal, regional and local levels) including central banks, state regulators, FIUs, law enforcement and military
    • International bodies e.g. Europol, European Commission, FATF, MONEYVAL
    • NGOs and Arms Length Bodies
    • Publicly funded academic institutions – both academic staff and students
    • Think tanks
    • 3rd Sector, not-for-profit, registered charities


    Public Sector attendees are eligible for a reduced price.

    If attendees register at the public sector rate and are not eligible for preferential rates we will invoice the difference.
