What’s next? Is it a question asked with concern or curiosity? Is it about regulation, legislation, investigation, or coordination? Maybe it’s about transformation—of everything, everywhere, all at once. Court decisions that could change the regulatory landscape. Technology that is reshaping the skills needed to stay ahead. New regulatory focus on products, processes, and relationships. The merging of AML, sanctions, and export controls. The responsibilities surrounding data: protecting it, sharing it, and using it effectively.
One thing is certain: At The Assembly Hollywood, "what’s next" is not about giving up. It’s about harnessing the power of information to drive change. From April 28-30 at The Diplomat Beach Resort, join industry professionals and world-class experts for insights and perspectives you won't find anywhere else.
Be at The Assembly Hollywood 2025—and be prepared for what’s next.
