About The Event
Don't Just Take Our Word, See What Your Industry Peers Have To Say!
Ahead of the Economic Crime Pevention Switzerland Summit, hear from our attendees and partners from the first edition in 2022 as they share their thoughts about their experience!
Thank you for the excellent organization, the topics were very stimulating and the speakers were very competent. Looking forward to next year's conference
It was a terrific event and the speakers were very high quality and most important of all the agenda was very insightful and I learnt a lot
Found the agenda very insightful and focused on the “real challenges” that companies and industries are
currently facing. In the last two years many events and conferences have bored attendees with only pandemic
related challenges. Speakers were knowledgeable and with a lot of experience at the same time.
'Very interesting speakers, a good mix of topics and greatly organised to enable networking! Many thanks!'
'Great conference with high profile speakers and participants.'
“The speakers and experts provided in depth understanding about current challenges and opportunities in the domain of Economic Crime Prevention & Compliance. The value delivered by this event surpassed my expectation, and offered a unique opportunity to network with thought leaders and key industry experts – I’m sincerely looking forward for next years’ event.”
