Think you can’t play a leadership role in an ACAMS Conference? Think again. The Hot Topics session, always a crowd favorite, is where attendees take the floor, figuratively speaking. It works like this: In the run-up to the Hollywood gathering, ACAMS will send attendees an email requesting topics for our panel to consider, analyze and debate. Nothing compliance-related is off the table, from coping with regulatory complexities to improving exam results or staying ahead of fast-changing technology. At the session itself, your questions are fielded by our experts, in a free-wheeling and frank discussion rich with diverse views and pointed, practical insights. As a wise person once observed, the questions that get answered are the ones that get asked. Ask away — and we’ll see you at Hot Topics.
