Business casual attire is appropriate for all sessions and receptions. Hotel meeting room temperatures are difficult to regulate and tend to be on the cooler side. It's a good idea to bring a jacket or sweater.

Certificates will be emailed two weeks after the conference. If you have any questions, please contact the Service Team at +1 305.373.0020 or info@acams.org.

Substitutions of registered attendees may be made at any time prior to the beginning of the event. Please note that if the transfer is made from an ACAMS member to a non-ACAMS member, you will be charged the difference in cost.
