The ACI Women in Sanctions & AML Conference was incredibly rewarding both substantively and from a professional networking perspective. It is always amazing to discuss current trends and developments with the powerhouse women in this field, so many of whom were in attendance. I also thought it was such a valuable experience for mid-level and junior attendees to get practical advice on career advancement from industry trailblazers.
