About AML EDGE

Now in its third edition, AML Edge has quickly established itself as the definitive event in the Tranche 2 AML space – respected, well-attended, and backed by the regulator, industry bodies, global and domestic AML experts, practitioners and solutions providers alike.

AML Edge 2026 is your perfectly timed, practical checkpoint before enforcement. The time for theory is over. With starter packs published and the 1 July enforcement date looming, the question will no longer be “What's changing?” but “Are you ready?”

Following two sold-out events in 2025, we'll be delivering an execution-focused plan to get you across the line in this high-stakes community forum, expertly curated to solve your final, critical challenges.

Leave with a clear roadmap, peer-tested strategies, and the confidence that you are (or will be) ready.

2025 was about preparation. 2026 is about getting it done.

What’s new?

New venue: We're moving to the high-tech, high-impact Telstra CIC venue in the CBD, giving us more space for high-level content, hands-on deep dives, live solutions, demo zones and valuable networking.
We’re coming to Melbourne, too! Same format, experience and practical content as Sydney at a high-tech, high-impact venue.
Exclusive Tranche 1/Tranche 2 Crossover Hub: A new, co-located track will give you a rare chance to learn from Tranche 1 entities who are already navigating enforcement.
Practical focus: AML Edge 2026 is 100% focused on execution. Every session is designed to solve your final challenges and get you across the line.

What you’ll get from attending

Step-by-step guidance to finalise your AML/CTF risk assessment and program.

Peer-led examples from early adopters already implementing compliance.

Toolkits, checklists, and solution provider demos to accelerate your readiness.

Insider insights from regulators and top-tier compliance experts shaping Australia’s AML landscape.

Tranche 1 and global perspectives from jurisdictions that have been through the pain barrier and come out the other side.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

AML EDGE 2026

By mid-2026, there is no grace period left. Penalties will be real, resources will be stretched, and those who haven’t acted will be left behind.

Ditch the theory for a practical, step-by-step plan that makes your program defensible.

Get the clarity to protect your business and lead your team with confidence through the deadline.

Learn to operationalise compliance efficiently, without disrupting your business.

Connect and collaborate with a dynamic, interesting and interested community.

You’ll actually enjoy it! As well as value and critical content, we focus on experience, moments of delight, and non-corporate vibes.
