ACFE Call for Speakers

In our continuing effort to provide the best training events possible to our members and attendees, the ACFE invites experienced anti-fraud professionals and subject-matter experts to submit proposals to speak at future ACFE conferences and webinars. (Conference sessions are either 75 or 80 minutes long; webinars are 100 minutes long.) 

Proposals submitted for one event can also be considered for another conference or webinar at the discretion of the ACFE and with approval of the speaker. 

NOTE: Due to the short session duration and the economics of travel and coordination, the ACFE rarely entertains proposals for panels or co-presenters. If necessary, co-presenters should be noted in the proposal in the Abstract section.

The ACFE is currently accepting or considering proposals for the following events:
