Flores will tell her powerful story as a human
trafficking victim, and discuss the role that the financial
services industry can play in stopping illicit activities
NICE Actimize, a NICE (Nasdaq: NICE)
business, and a leader in Autonomous Financial Crime
Management, today confirmed that Theresa Flores, a human
trafficking survivor, author, and victims’ advocate, will keynote
at ENGAGE 2019. The industry’s premier event fully dedicated to
innovation in the financial crime and compliance industry, ENGAGE
2019 is open to NICE Actimize clients, partners and sponsors, and
will be held in New York City on November 19 and 20.
Sharing her harrowing experiences as a young woman from a
well-to-do suburban neighborhood, Flores survived two years being
trafficked. At the time she was trafficked, no one, not even her
parents, knew what was going on. Twenty years later, Theresa is
speaking out on the realities of human trafficking in the United
States. She is also the author of “The Slave Across the Street”, a
USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller, which is now
available in a tenth anniversary e-book edition, and “The Sacred
Bath”, her new top seller appearing on the UK Sunday Times list
which offers a look into her escape from her traffickers and her
struggle to heal. At ENGAGE 2019, she will also discuss the
critical role that the financial services industry can play in
identifying, tracking and stopping many of these illicit
activities.
“Fostering a continuing dialogue with our community of financial
services organizations on the extraordinary impact of human
trafficking is an important objective. The statistics around human
trafficking are stunning, with the International Labour
Organization estimating that there are 40.3 million victims of
human trafficking globally and that forced labor and human
trafficking is a $150 billion industry worldwide,” said Craig
Costigan, CEO, NICE Actimize. “The important work of many
financial services organizations in fighting human trafficking has
led to increased rescues of victims, and we feel it is important to
continue to shed a spotlight on this critical issue at our ENGAGE
2019 Client Forum.”
NICE Actimize’s ENGAGE 2019 offers interactive discussions led
by both NICE Actimize Product Management and invited industry
experts – attendees will hear what's new, what’s coming, and most
importantly, be able to share ideas with other attendees at the
open networking sessions.
The agenda addresses critical issues facing financial services
organizations, with thought-provoking sessions focused on today’s
financial crime and compliance challenges, as well as game changing
technologies such as Robotic Process Automation and machine
learning. Additional topics explore key business issues for 2020
such as “Trusting Digital Identity” to “The Evolving Role of Crypto
and Surveillance” to “The Power of Collective Intelligence for Data
Insights” and “I Feel the Need, the Need for Speed: Faster Payments
in the U.S.”
