On 21 November 2025, the Leaders in Finance AML Europe Event (invite-only) took place at the headquarters of the Belgian Banking Association (Febelfin) in Brussels. AML leaders from 22 different European financial institutions gathered for a full day of knowledge sharing, valuable connections, and roundtable discussions. We would like to thank all speakers, participants, and our partners for making this event possible.
With our AML Europe Event, we aimed to bring together AML/KYC leaders together on a European level, encourage knowledge sharing and the exchange of best practices. The program featured a combination of influential speakers and roundtable discussions focused on a variety of topics. To encourage open discussions, the Chatham House Rule applied.
