The Global Anti-Scam Summit America 2026​​​​​​​

Where Innovation Meets Action

In the months since our 2025 America summit, the threat we face from online fraud and scams has only become more urgent. Online scam tactics continue to evolve, impacting consumers, businesses, and public institutions across the Americas. Fraud networks are operating in an ever-growing set of jurisdictions, operating across borders, exploiting regulatory gaps, and adapting rapidly to new technologies.

From our unique position at the intersection of nations and industries affected by this crisis, we know it's time to shift from exploring possible solutions to implementing them at scale.​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​How might we turn the tide on scammers?

As scams continue to evolve, so must our response. This year’s summit is designed to help leaders move from idea to action—bringing together decision-makers and builders from across financial services, technology, telecommunications, cybersecurity, government, and civil society to talk about solutions we can deploy at scale.

Over two days, attendees will explore how emerging technologies—from AI to digital identity—can be used across sectors to help outpace scammers, strengthen trust, and scale real-world solutions across sectors and jurisdictions.

What to Expect this Year​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Bold conversations with decision-makers and industry leaders around key issues like identity verification, enforcement, victim support, and cross-border collaboration.

A sharper focus on innovation and deployable solutions that deliver scalable, measurable impact, including those leveraging AI and blockchain technologies.

An increased exploration of the role state and local government entities play in holding scammers accountable.

Pier 48 – San Francisco, California, United States

Pier 48 is one of San Francisco’s most distinctive waterfront event venues, located along McCovey Cove directly across from Oracle Park. Originally built as part of the city’s historic shipping infrastructure, the pier has been carefully preserved and adapted into a large-scale event space that reflects San Francisco’s maritime and industrial heritage.

Today, Pier 48 combines expansive interiors with an industrial aesthetic and sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay and the Bay Bridge. Its scale and flexibility make it well suited for major conferences, exhibitions, and corporate gatherings, offering a memorable waterfront setting that captures the character and energy of the city.

The GASA Scam Fighter Awards recognise excellence in combating scams across prevention, detection, disruption and enforcement.

Nominations are open to initiatives at any stage of development – concept, pilot or fully implemented – provided they demonstrate clear impact in increasing the cost of committing scams, reducing their success rates, or improving accountability and enforcement outcomes.
