Join the conversation

What do a scam, a laundering operation, and a sanctions breach have in common? They run on the same money, exploit the same accounts, and profit from the exact same blind spot: detection systems built to catch them in isolation. Catalyst is a series of events where the industry connects the fight to close it.

Join over 100+ senior compliance leaders in Singapore on November 18th to:

1. Insights

Get a head start on 2027

Discuss the shifting financial crime landscape, the new AI infrastructure underneath it, and what both mean in practice for your team.

2. Showcase

See what good looks like

A demonstration of how connected AI and next-generation data are being applied by firms already ahead of the curve.

3. Connect

Meet your peers

Network with senior leaders facing the same regulatory and fraud pressures through candid conversations.

Agenda

CATALYST is built around one story: how connected AI, data, and compliance prevent financial crime.
