The Steering Committee welcomes up to 40 senior in-house practitioners and leading advisors who specialize in financial crime and sanctions risk for financial institutions. Participants are drawn from across the United Kingdom and Europe with a complement of selected representatives from abroad.

This elite group, comprised of experts in the field, personally nominates all invitees and develops the Agenda, which forms the basis of our discussions.
