June 27, 2008 - PRLog -- The International Money Transmitters Convention (IMTC 2008), to take place September 22 & 23, 2008 at the InterContinental Miami Hotel, will be an educational and networking event consisting of anti-money laundering compliance training, sharing recent developments in the money transfer and anti-money laundering fields on the national and international levels.

IMTC 2008 is being organized by the National Money Transmitters Association with the assistance of the Florida International Bankers Association (FIBA), and will feature speakers of the first rank from government, academia and the private sector. Anyone who has an interest in money transmitters, the money transfer industry, the topic of remittances and anti-money laundering compliance is invited to attend, including not only transmitters and their employees, but also agents, bankers, credit unions, micro-finance institutions, professional service providers, investors and government officials. It promises to be a convention filled with timely, vital information that you will find invaluable in this fast-evolving business.

Event Highlights:

Education/Training: Those industry experts who have agreed to speak are among the most famous and well-respected names in the remittance and anti-money laundering fields. Speakers confirmed thus far include renowned researchers Manuel Orozco, Nikos Passas, Pedro de Vasconcelos, and Raul Hernandez-Coss, FinCEN Assistant Director Thomas Fleming, Alberto Real Benitez (SAT, Mexico), an as-yet-unnamed representative of Brazil’s FIU (COAF) and such industry pundits as Jorge Guerrero, Juan Llanos, Don Temple, Jeff Sklar, and many more.
