Annual Women in Aml & Sanctions Forum 2026 took place October 6–7, 2026.

It was held at District of Columbia Bar in Washington, DC.

The organizer identifies women in AML, sanctions, and financial-crime compliance as the audience.

It is most useful for women in AML and sanctions compliance who want both substantive content and career development, since the speakers were billed as coming from UBS, Mercury Bank, Danske Bank, Swiss Re, Eni S.p.A. and Clifford Chance, and the format was scheduled to include small-group talks on leadership and career transitions. At 1.5 days with CLE and ethics credits, it was a compact option, but compliance staff wanting deep technical training or a large vendor show would get less from it than from a bigger national conference.

Attendees at AML, sanctions and legal compliance conferences in Washington usually wear business formal or sharp business attire.
