A Unified Framework
MAORCA is sharing information with our members regarding Verizon Business's 3rd Annual Fraud Defense Summit, a limited-attendance collaborative event bringing together leaders from the financial services, telecommunications, technology, healthcare, and law enforcement communities.
The 2026 summit will focus on the growing convergence of financial fraud, telecommunications fraud, identity-based crime, cyber-enabled threats, and emerging technologies.
With attendance expected to be limited to approximately 35-40 participants, the summit is designed as an interactive working event rather than a traditional large-scale conference.
Interested in Attending?
This is not an open-registration MAORCA event.
Verizon is intentionally limiting attendance to maintain a focused, collaborative environment. For that reason, MAORCA is not publishing the event registration link.
MAORCA members who believe this summit is relevant to their investigative or fraud-prevention responsibilities should contact Verizon directly to inquire about availability.
