Set within 2,000 acres of beautiful Welsh countryside, Celtic Manor offers a setting that instantly elevates any conference or gathering. The resort combines a sense of calm and space with the energy and capability of a world‑class events destination.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll find everything designed to support connection, collaboration, and creativity.
The resort’s purpose‑built conference facilities include versatile meeting rooms, impressive plenary spaces, and breakout areas that make it easy for ideas to flow.
Beyond the meeting spaces, attendees can enjoy award‑winning restaurants, stylish lounges, and exceptional leisure facilities - all supported by a team dedicated to delivering seamless, memorable experiences. Take time to explore, unwind, and make the most of this remarkable venue.
The conference delivers a sharp, premium, high‑energy look at the forces reshaping financial crime, bringing together the newest AI‑driven threats and the most significant regulatory changes hitting the industry. Across the programme, leaders and innovators unpack how automation, deepfakes, synthetic identities, and tightening crypto rules are transforming criminal behaviour, while PSD3, AMLA6, ECCTA identity verification, and global transparency reforms raise the bar for compliance. With fast‑paced insights on sanctions, KYC/KYB challenges, and the skills and leadership needed for the next generation of fincrime teams, the event gives organisations the clarity, confidence, and competitive edge to stay ahead in a rapidly shifting landscape.

We’re delighted to welcome Christian Hunt back to the FRC; this time with something entirely different...
Over dinner, Christian will deliver a three-course stand-up routine, exploring the contradictions and very human dynamics that sit at the heart of modern compliance. Not as a keynote or lecture, but as a stand-up comedy routine.
Drawing on his experience as a former Regulator, Compliance Officer and Head of Behavioural Science at UBS, he’ll trade the traditional keynote for punchlines, putting the profession itself under the spotlight.
There’s nothing funny about compliance. Or is there? We’re about to find out.
The FRC Leaders' Convention is an exclusive, invite-only retreat designed for senior leaders across industries. The conference creates a trusted, confidential environment where top executives connect, exchange bold ideas, and collaborate on ground-breaking projects.
