ACAMS Upper Midwest Chapter May 2026 Spring Summit: Automation, AI, and Oversight That Scales

Overview

As financial crime grows in complexity and volume, compliance teams are under increasing pressure to do more: faster, smarter, and with greater accountability. Join the ACAMS Upper Midwest Chapter for our Spring Summit, where industry leaders, practitioners, and technologists come together to explore how automation and artificial intelligence are reshaping financial crime prevention and what it takes to govern these capabilities responsibly at scale.

This interactive summit will move beyond theory to address the real-world implications of AI across AML and financial crime operations. Attendees will gain practical insights into emerging risks, regulatory expectations, and proven approaches for deploying AI while maintaining transparency, control, and trust.

Featured topics include:

• The Nefarious Art of AI – Understanding how criminals exploit AI and automation, and what this means for detection, investigation, and controls.
• AI and Compliance: Bridging the Gap – Aligning innovation with regulatory expectations, auditability, and explainability.
• AI Governance – Establishing effective oversight frameworks for models, data, and decision-making across the AI lifecycle.
• Real‑World Experiences – Applying agentic AI across financial crime investigations, including lessons learned, challenges encountered, and measurable outcomes.

Whether you are leading AML operations, overseeing model risk and governance, or evaluating AI-driven solutions, this summit will equip you with actionable perspectives to help your organization scale intelligence—without sacrificing control.
