Our Sanctions Conference is the leading annual event for professionals navigating the complexities of global sanctions compliance. Unlike broader compliance events, this conference brings together policy experts, regulators and industry practitioners to discuss how the sanctions landscape is changing and what it means in practice for firms.
Updated for 2026, this year’s conference will include interactive scenario exercises, exploring cryptocurrency risks, and how organisations respond when sanctions regimes shift rapidly.
You will hear directly from experts, share experiences with peers, and leave with practical insights you can apply to your organisation.
We are proud to partner with organisations on our events. To discuss sponsorship opportunities at the Sanctions Conference 2026, please contact sponsorship@ukfinance.org.uk.

Crypto Sanctions Evasion: Investigate the Case
Criminals are increasingly using cryptocurrency to avoid sanctions. This creates new challenges for banks and investigators.
In this interactive session, participants will work through a realistic case and vote on how the investigation should proceed.
You will gain practical insight into crypto-related risks, and how sanctions investigations work in practice.
Prepare for the Unexpected: Scenario Planning Exercise
Sanctions rules can change quickly during geopolitical crises. Financial institutions need to be ready to respond.
In this group exercise, participants will work through a simulated sanctions scenario similar to the response following the invasion of Ukraine.
You will leave with practical ideas to help your organisation respond to future sanctions changes.
Ask the Experts: Sanctions Q&A
