The ACFE opens in Hong Kong, the NCISS marks fifty years in Nashville, and WAD Cannes is a fortnight out.

The busiest week of the summer is here. The ACFE opened its Asia-Pacific fraud conference in Hong Kong on Monday, and on Wednesday the NCISS began four days in Nashville marking fifty years of the association.
Half a century of the National Council of Investigation & Security Services — and they are celebrating where it counts: a 50th-anniversary conference in Nashville, 19–22 August. If there is one American event to make this month, it is this one.
Conferences are where investigators meet the person they will trust with a referral three years later.
WAD Cannes and the CII's Prague AGM are now just two weeks out, running side by side in the first week of September, with the SNARP AGM joining them in Cannes. And there is a new stop on the autumn calendar — the second CODEGA congress on detectives, justice and security, in La Coruña on 3–4 October.
If you are travelling to any of them, safe travels — and send us a photo.
