Inside the Fraud Kitchen: Cooking Up Modern Scams
Host: Pavel Goldman-Kalaydin

Info: In this session, we’ll take a closer look at some of the most sophisticated fraud tactics making waves today, from deepfakes and forged documents to impersonation during verification and account takeovers. You’ll get to see exactly how these schemes work with a live deepfake demo, where we’ll use volunteers to show how a fake account can be created in real time.


Then it’s your turn—you’ll dive into interactive exercises to spot fake documents and deepfakes yourself, followed by a hands-on investigation where you’ll put best practices for fraud detection into action. By the end, you’ll not only understand how these scams are pulled off but also feel more confident in catching them before they cause damage.


Ideal for: Fraud and risk specialists, security analysts

Building a Secure Onboarding Process: Jurisdictions, Fraud Flows, UX Optimizat
Host: Nikolai Suhharnikov

Info: In this workshop, we’ll explore what it takes to design a smart, secure, and user-friendly onboarding process. We’ll start with the theory, walking through best practices that balance fraud prevention, speed, and conversion. Then you’ll get hands-on with a practical challenge: building your own onboarding flow with defined logic, validation rules, and UX optimizations.


Using modular steps, levels, and conditions, you’ll map out your flow and refine it in real time. Along the way, the moderator will give feedback, helping you fine-tune your design so it’s not only functional but also smooth, efficient, and fraud-aware.


Ideal for: Product managers, compliance officers, and risk managers



🕑: 01:00 PM - 03:00 PM
AML Investigations and Case Management: Detection, Triage, SOF/SOW Checks
Host: Natalie Buraimoh

We’ll cover key checks like source of funds and source of wealth, filing suspicious activity reports, and keeping accurate records, as well as ongoing monitoring and updating risk classifications.


You’ll get hands-on with a real case investigation, trying your skills in both manual and automated approaches. By the end, you’ll have both the theoretical grounding and the practical experience to approach AML investigations with more speed, accuracy, and confidence.


Ideal for: Compliance managers, AML investigators, and heads of financial crime
