ENGAGE LIVE will also host several world-class speakers who will share their personal experiences, addressing their unique careers and observations on a range of world issues.

Kicking off ENGAGE LIVE on June 8 will be Amal Clooney, a lawyer who specializes in international law and human rights. She represents clients before international courts, including the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, and the European Court of Human Rights. She is a Visiting Professor at Columbia Law School, where she co-teaches the Human Rights course, and she is co-author of an academic textbook titled The Right to a Fair Trial in International Law, published by Oxford University Press. In 2016 she and her husband George established the Clooney Foundation for Justice to advance justice through accountability for human rights abuses around the world.

As a featured opening keynote for June 9, Tom Wright is a frequent speaker on financial fraud and politics. An investigative journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist, he is a speaker on financial fraud and politics. He is the co-author of New York Times bestseller “Billion Dollar Whale," the true story of a Wharton School graduate who orchestrated one of the world's largest-ever financial heists—and used the proceeds to build a Hollywood empire. In 2021, Tom set up Project Brazen with his co-author, Bradley Hope. Project Brazen is a media studio uncovering true stories and developing content for TV series and podcasts.

For the event’s closing keynote on June 9, retired DEA special agents Stephen Murphy and Javier Peña will discuss the capture and downfall of the infamous Medellín cartel kingpin, Pablo Escobar, one of the largest, most complex, multi-national, high-profile investigations of its time. Their incredible journey in pursuing the world’s first “narco-terrorist” is depicted in the Golden Globe-nominated Netflix series “Narcos”.

Craig Costigan, CEO, NICE Actimize, said, “As the ever-changing landscape for financial crime-related threats continues to evolve and criminals become more agile, our financial institution customers have had to adapt quickly. ENGAGE LIVE will address these issues and provide strategies that create a pathway to confronting these challenges by adopting the latest innovations in sophisticated AI, advanced analytics, and data intelligence into their operations.”

Among the informative sessions to be held throughout ENGAGE LIVE are such topics as "From the Mind of a Fraudster: Strengthening the Weakest Link”; “The Human Toll of Financial Crime: The Role We All Play”; “When Advisors Go Rogue: Common Scenarios and Tips to Safeguarding Your Firm”; and “Seeing Through the Corporate Façade: Money Laundering Threats in Corporate Banking.”
