Our first meetup outside Spain: beers, networking and honest AML talk. Lisbon, Thursday 29 October.
AML Freaks is the community of people who work in anti-money laundering. We've been meeting over beers in Madrid and Barcelona since 2024, and now we're crossing the border. On 29 October we land in Lisbon: if you work in AML/CFT in Portugal, this is your invitation.
📅 Thursday, 29 October 2026, from 18:45
📍 Lisbon, city-centre venue (confirmed by email)
✅ Free to attend · Spots are limited
What is AML Freaks? 🦸
Born in Spain in 2024, AML Freaks today brings together 1,300+ compliance people from law firms, investment funds, fintech, real estate, gaming, crypto and other regulated sectors.
We stay on top of regulation and typologies together, organise talks and hands-on sessions with the people who apply AML on the ground, and meet over beers regularly. Because compliance is better with company.
The format: beers, not slides
This first one is pure networking: no stage, no slides, no vendor pitches.
Just an afterwork where the people who deal with KYC, screening and suspicious activity every day compare notes on the job, the regulators, the gray areas, the war stories. You arrive, you grab a beer, you meet your peers. That’s it.
Why Lisbon, why now
This is our first event outside Spain, and Portugal was the obvious place to start: same challenges, same European rulebook on the way, and a compliance community we keep crossing paths with.
If you’re a compliance officer, MLRO, consultant, lawyer or regulator working in AML/CFT, come say hello. You’ll know people by the second beer.
It takes 30 seconds to sign up. The beers take longer.
PS: subscribe to the AML Freaks newsletter, it's in Spanish (for now), but the beers speak every language.
