ACAMS Baltics Chapter – Inaugural Estonia Event

The ACAMS Baltics Chapter was launched in September 2017 and is now hosting its first event in Tallinn, Estonia.

Our previous events held in Latvia (Riga) and Lithuania (Vilnius) have raised significant interest. Over 200 AML/CFT professionals from the public and private sectors participated in these gatherings, engaging in discussions about the common challenges faced by the community and possible ways to address them.

The aim of our Inaugural Estonia Event is to bring the Baltics AML/CFT community together, to network and facilitate cross-country collaboration.

Places at this exclusive event are complimentary but limited, so please register as soon as possible to reserve your place. Upon arrival at the venue, please make sure to have your registration confirmation handy (on your smartphone or printed), to ease the registration process.
