Think Bigger to Find Opportunity in Risky Times

For more than two decades, Abrigo’s conferences have been educating lenders, risk professionals, and BSA/AML professionals, and we are excited to bring the ThinkBIG: Manage Risk. Drive Growth. and ThinkBIG: Fighting Financial Crime conferences together for one BIG event. Your financial institution’s need to grow and manage risk doesn’t go away just because COVID-19 isn’t contained yet. In fact, now more than ever, bankers need to think bigger to be able to help your communities survive and win.

Join Abrigo’s industry-leading conference for fresh ideas on how to drive growth and manage lending, portfolio, and financial crime risk. We’re excited to meet in person this year, but understand it might not be possible for everyone, so we’re also offering virtual attendance and will pivot to all-virtual if warranted.

Manage Risk. Drive Growth.

Helping you to Manage Risk and Drive Growth in these challenging times, sessions will cover topics ranging from capping credit risk without impeding growth in our unique environment, managing portfolio risk, optimizing risk and ALM frameworks, etc. Attendees will uncover strategies to make better loans faster and learn CECL best practices from peers, industry experts, CPAs, auditors, and regulators.  

Fight Financial Crime

Fighting Financial Crime has never been more difficult. Sessions will focus on BSA/AML and fraud detection topics. Attendees will hear from industry leaders, law enforcement, and peers as they share their knowledge on the latest developments in suspicious activity detection, fraud trends, and regulatory expectations. Return to your financial institution with new ideas and actionable information to make your BSA program even stronger.
