The Assembly
Australasia

What is The Assembly?

The Assembly is the new name for our global conference series. In 2023, The Assembly series includes our conferences in Hollywood, Europe, Australasia, LATAM, Las Vegas, MENA, Canada, Japan, the Caribbean, and our FinTech & Crypto event in Texas. In 2024, our APAC conference will also be part of The Assembly series.

What is changing?

You’ll see our new branding in all of our conference communications, on-site at our conference venues, and across our virtual event platform. The Assembly will be brought to life with bright colors and imagery, representing the exciting, productive, and creative environment of our conferences.

What isn’t changing?

The name and branding of each event will change, but the conference program will stay the same. You can expect the same quality conference content that ACAMS is renowned for. This includes expert speakers, a diverse program, and dedicated networking time – all aimed at helping you broaden your horizons and sharpen your skillset.

ACAMS is offering in-person attendance at the Assembly Australasia 2023 in Sydney, Australia in compliance with local government orders permitting such gatherings. Currently, the Hilton Sydney safety protocols, Australian Government Department of Health, and the New South Wales (NSW) COVID-19 Public Health Order guidelines do not require hotel guests and attendees to wear masks. However, all attendees and staff are still expected to fully comply with applicable safety precautions, such as staying home if exhibiting signs of illness. Masks are optional for anyone choosing to wear one and sanitization stations will be available throughout the meeting space.

If hospitalization rates rise, NSW could re-instate capacity limits, which could impact the number of attendees permitted at the Assembly Australasia 2023. If this were to occur, you would be notified as to the status of your registration. If capacity restrictions require ACAMS to reduce the number of attendees at the Assembly Australasia 2023, and you are unable to attend the event in person, you will be provided alternatives, such as the ability to transfer your pass to the next in-person event or virtual event. Refunds will not be available.

The Assembly Australasia 2023 passes are non-refundable. Pass holders may request a pass transfer to another person, colleague or client up until June 9, 2023.

Covid-19 Policy: At the discretion of ACAMS, pass holders will receive a refund of the Assembly Australasia 2023 pass if the pass holder is unable to attend the in-person event, at any time, in Sydney because the pass holder has been diagnosed with Covid-19 or if government-issued travel restrictions are in place during the event dates. If a pass holder is unable to attend because of the Covid-19 illness, ACAMS reserves the right to request proof of a positive diagnosis. If a pass holder has been potentially exposed to someone who is positive for COVID-19, a pass transfer to a future in-person event can be made.

• Government-issued travel restrictions include:
• The country/state that you live in closes its borders to travel
• The country/state you live in issues advice not to travel to Sydney, Australia
• The country/state you live in has imposed an unavoidable quarantine on return from travel
• There is an unavoidable quarantine on arrival in Sydney, Australia
• There is a further lockdown phase in the country/state you live in that prevents you from leaving your home except for essential requirements

In the event New South Wales announces a return to Covid-19 restrictions, ACAMS will abide by local government and Australian Government Department of Health. Due to new limited seating your Assembly Australasia 2023 pass may be subject to change to the next in-person event. Seats will be allocated based on time of purchase.

If the state of New South Wales’s governing body imposes a new restriction that prohibits ACAMS from holding an in-person event you will be able to transfer your pass to the next in-person event. Refunds will not be available.
