This is a truly interactive forum fostering “round table” exchange with excerpts across key compliance disciplines. I also applaud Momentum’s invitation-only model where in-house and compliance leaders such as myself aren’t forced to pay thousands of dollars to gain critical knowledge from the U.S. government and my peers in order to ensure my company remains compliant."
Karen Jones, Trade Compliance, Harris Electronic Systems
“I found this [A.C.E.S] to be one of the best conferences I have attended on global anti-corruption. The audience was just the right size – big enough to benefit from diverse views and experiences, but small enough to facilitate meaningful benchmarking and dialogue. I also appreciated that the topics were current and meaningful for an experienced practitioner (not geared toward those brand new to the arena). I will definitely take part again”
