Casino Essentials to Host 11th annual AML Conference

Casino Essentials has announced key government speakers for its 11 annual Anti-Money Laundering Conference, to be held August 13-16 in Las Vegas.

Anti-money-laundering policy adviser and online educational firm Casino Essentials has announced several key government speakers for its 2018 AML Conference, to be held August 13-16 at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

Speakers include Kenneth Blanco, the director of the U.S. Justice Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FInCEN), who will kick off the conference with a keynote speech on the first day of the three-day event. Blanco’s keynote will be followed by additional keynotes, panels and presentations from FinCEN’s Enforcement Division, the deputy chief of IRS criminal investigations and the Department of Justice Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section.

The Bank Secrecy Act requires financial institutions including casinos in the United States to assist government agencies to detect and prevent money laundering.

In 2017, Casino Essentials’ national AML Conference attracted high-profile speakers from FinCEN, IRS and DOJ. More than 500 gaming professionals, regulators and attorneys attended the conference in Las Vegas, developed by Casino Essentials in partnership with the Dowling Advisory Group (DAG).

“Attendees will hear from the most experienced legal and regulatory experts in the gaming industry,” said Jim Dowling, managing director of Dowling Advisory Group. “Our extensive experience with AML compliance allows us to connect casino professionals with federal regulators to address the most challenging issues in the gaming industry.”

Casino Essentials continues to provide regional and national AML conferences with relevant content and exceptional government and industry speakers. “Our conference program provides a unique environment where casinos can openly discuss their compliance challenges as a community,” said Mindy Letourneau, managing director of Casino Essentials. “Here, participants interact directly with government regulators and federal law enforcement agencies to find solutions that can benefit the industry.”
