New York, United States

Introduction

Silent Eight’s AML Leadership Breakfast Symposium is an exclusive, closed-door roundtable designed for senior AML, compliance, risk, and regulatory leaders.

Silent Eight’s AML Leadership Breakfast Symposium is an exclusive, closed-door roundtable designed for senior AML, compliance, risk, and regulatory leaders.

Format and Purpose

This private, high-impact forum is designed exclusively for senior AML and compliance decision-makers to:

Exchange Practical Insights: Share real-world experiences and intelligence on emerging typologies, regulatory developments, and evolving risk exposures.

Explore the Role of Innovation: Examine how AI, machine learning, and RegTech are transforming AML frameworks — enhancing operational efficiency, strengthening detection, and reducing systemic risk.

Engage in Strategic Dialogue: Collaborate on the leadership, culture, and cross-sector partnerships essential to safeguarding the integrity of the financial system.

Connect with Peers at the Highest Level: Participate in candid, off-the-record conversations — free from sales pitches or slide presentations, and focused on meaningful dialogue and shared leadership.

This symposium is purpose-built for AML and compliance leaders — not generalists. It’s a rare opportunity to connect directly with those shaping financial crime strategy and regulation.
