Abrigo’s ThinkBIG conferences have been a cornerstone of learning for lenders, risk professionals, and AML/CFT professionals for more than two decades. Banking and compliance professionals rely on the annual conference to elevate their understanding of industry shifts and regulatory pressures that hammer them daily. Attendees return from ThinkBIG energized and informed so they can continue positively impacting their institutions and, more importantly, their communities.
Consistently rated a top industry event by attendees, ThinkBIG brought together 650 people from banks, credit unions, and partners in 2023. The ThinkBIG 2024 conference is June 3-6 in Phoenix, Arizona, and with 99% of last year’s attendees saying they would recommend the conference to others, Abrigo expects another large crowd. This year’s conference will feature industry experts, financial institution peers, BSA/AML professionals, CPAs, law enforcement, auditors, and regulators selected especially for their expertise and timely knowledge. Speakers at Abrigo’s ThinkBIG conference will:
- Spotlight current challenges facing banking professionals
- Provide industry best practices to drive growth and manage risk
- Offer advice on regulatory compliance.
The 2024 ThinkBIG conference offers two conference tracks along with larger general sessions that will set financial institutions up for success. The Fighting Financial Crime track will focus on BSA compliance, anti-money-laundering (AML), and fraud detection topics. The Credit + Lending + Portfolio Risk track will cover topics on managing credit risk, making smarter loans faster, managing the current expected credit loss (CECL), stress testing, and asset/liability management (ALM). Detailed ThinkBIG conference session descriptions are available by topic, and more are being added as they are confirmed.
Registration is open through May 10; additional details on the event, accommodations, and conference registration are here.
