After two consecutive NYC Holiday Socials bringing together more than 100 anti-financial crime professionals each year, the Coalition Against Financial Crime is returning for its 3rd Annual CAFC NYC Holiday Social on Wednesday, December 2, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM in a private loft in Manhattan’s Flatiron District.

What began as a year-end gathering has quickly become one of CAFC’s most anticipated community events. This year, we are creating an even more intimate and elevated experience designed around the people behind the work: senior leaders and practitioners across AML, fraud, sanctions, investigations, compliance, risk, banking, fintech, law enforcement, and the broader anti-financial crime community.

Guests will spend the evening connecting in a relaxed private setting with complimentary premium alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, appetizers, three hours of meaningful networking and conversation, and perhaps a holiday surprise or two. No conference rooms, no presentations, and no packed agenda. This is simply an opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, meet new people, celebrate another year of work across the financial crime community, and close out 2026 together in New York City.

Vendors interested in sponsorship opportunities should contact: info@cafc.org.
