Human Trafficking: The Dark Side of Large-Scale Events

Secure your spot today by registering

Large-scale events bring communities together, but they also create hospitable conditions for financial chicanery and exploitation of individuals and institutions. As Vancouver is the host city of matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and other major international gatherings, awareness and coordinated action have never been more critical.

Join us for an informed and timely evening focused on the realities of human trafficking (HT) in the context of high-profile events. Our expert speakers will walk attendees through:

• What Human Trafficking Is and Why It Matters: A grounding overview of HT, its many forms, and the scope of the issue in Canada and globally.
• Identifying the Signs Using Public Information: Practical guidance on how to proactively recognize indicators of HT at your institution using openly available data and tools.
• What the RCMP Is Doing: An inside look at law enforcement strategies to combat human trafficking during major events, including the FIFA World Cup in Vancouver.
• The Financial Crime Connection: How banks and financial institutions can detect transaction patterns associated with HT, including a real-world case study.
• The US Perspective: Similarities in the US and how HT is being addressed there.

This event is designed for professionals across law enforcement, financial services, compliance, social services, and the broader community who want to be part of the solution. Space is limited. Register now to secure your seat.

We look forward to bringing together the Vancouver compliance community and other professionals for this meaningful and impactful conversation.
