Key Themes at the Money Laundering in Canada 2026 Conference

We are pleased to announce that Money Laundering in Canada will be taking place September 21-22, 2026 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

As anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) efforts continue to evolve, the 2026 Money Laundering in Canada Conference, taking place September 21-22, 2026 in Ottawa, is set to bring together regulators, enforcement agencies, private-sector compliance leaders, and subject-matter experts for a comprehensive examination of today’s most pressing financial crime challenges.

Money Laundering in Canada 2026 will focus on the most significant regulatory, enforcement, and operational developments shaping Canada’s AML/ATF landscape. Legislative and enforcement priorities will be front and centre, including analysis of the Strong Borders Act and its implications for cross-border crime, organized crime disruption, and information sharing, alongside in-depth discussions on internal and external fraud, corruption and bribery risks, and the evolving use of administrative monetary penalties under the PCMLTFA.

The agenda will also address broader global and operational pressures, including the anticipated impacts of Canada’s FATF evaluation, human trafficking risks in an era of geopolitical instability, and an examination of the evolutions of AML Technology. Additional sessions will offer practical guidance on the effective use of VSDONCs, and how to conduct meaningful compliance effectiveness reviews that move beyond technical compliance. Regulator and law enforcement presentations will round out the program, providing direct insight into supervisory expectations, enforcement trends, and what compliance teams should be preparing for next.

With its rich agenda spanning legislative change, enforcement shifts, evolving threat landscapes, and cutting-edge technology, Money Laundering in Canada 2026 promises to be a landmark event for AML professionals. By fostering dialogue across sectors and disciplines, the conference aims to strengthen Canada’s collective ability to detect, deter, and disrupt financial crime in an increasingly complex global environment.

Registration will open in February, with Extra-Early Bird rates available until the end of March. Both in-person and livestream options will be offered. Join our mailing list for more information as it becomes available.
