The Global Anti-Scam Summit America 2025 took place on the 3rd and 4th of December at Amazon HQ2 in Arlington, bringing together more than 500 participants from government, law enforcement, financial services, technology, research and survivor advocacy. Across the two days, one idea anchored every keynote, panel and discussion: Powering Collective Action.
The summit examined how scams are evolving into organised, cross-border networks and how meaningful progress now depends on earlier intelligence sharing, coordinated disruption and practical collaboration across sectors.
Alongside the mainstage programme, the event hosted 15 workshops and a series of focused discussions led by more than 90 speakers, covering topics such as AI-enabled fraud, impersonation risks, enforcement challenges, upstream disruption and victim support. Networking throughout the venue also played a central role, giving attendees the opportunity to exchange insights, compare approaches and strengthen the relationships needed to act together beyond the summit.
