1 The Payment Fraud Detection & Prevention Symposium & Workshops Philadelphia May 11 12, 2017 Denver June 8-9, 2017 Space is limited so don t wait to register. F raud doesn t discriminate. No organization, no matter how small or how large is immune from being targeted. But, just because a fraudster targets your organization doesn t mean it will be a victim. That is up to you. By educating your staff and taking the proper steps, you are well on your way to avoiding the reach of those who will try and defraud your company. Each attendee will receive their own 70-page journal to take notes, record observations and jot down contact information of those they meet. All conference material will be available as a download before the event so attendees can follow presentations on their tablets or laptops, if they so wish. You ll find out how your peers in the trenches are addressing the very same problems you have. For this reason, these sessions will have limited space. You won t be one of hundreds or even thousands lost in the crowd. Plus, you ll have the opportunity to earn six (6) CPEs for the symposium and another three (3) for each workshop.
