A Strategic Forum for Compliance Excellence in North Africa
As financial institutions across North Africa and beyond navigate an increasingly complex regulatory environment, the pressure to maintain robust compliance frameworks has never been higher. Global sanctions regimes, evolving Anti-Money Laundering (AML) standards, and emerging technologies continue to reshape the financial landscape. In response, professionals must stay ahead with practical knowledge, effective strategies, and a network of peers to draw from.
The Sanctions, AML & Trade Controls for Banking and Finance in North Africa Conference 2025 offers an exclusive and intimate platform designed specifically for banking and finance compliance professionals, government regulators, and legal experts. Co-organised by Nielsonsmith and MEACA, this two-day in-person event in Casablanca promises deep-dive sessions into the most urgent issues—from crypto and AI-enhanced due diligence to navigating the risks of sanctions evasion and proliferation financing.
Featuring keynote speakers such as Ms. Nathalie Goulet, Member of the French Senate, and expert panellists from leading institutions including Citi, Western Union, BNP Paribas, and Bank of Africa, attendees will gain insights directly from those shaping and responding to the region’s most pressing compliance challenges.
This event is conducted under the Chatham House Rule to ensure candid conversations, enriched by real-world case studies and thought-provoking roundtable discussions. With a strict attendee cap of 80, the setting ensures not only high-value learning but also meaningful networking.
