ACAMS Las Vegas 2007 !!
At this year's ACAMS/Las Vegas Conference, BCCP's first time with an exhibitor booth was a huge success!! We visited with many friends, both old and new, catching up and spreading the news of the services offered by BCCP.

Without a doubt, our "tchotchkis" were a big hit, especially our "Got Compliance?" hand sanitizer - keeping you both compliant AND clean! Our grand prize drawing was a Solio solar battery charger for small electronics and its uniqueness created a lot of "energy" on its own.
One of the highlights of the conference for me was attending the presentation by James Richards of Wells Fargo Bank on mining the web for information. Very informative and apropos to the essential aspect of due diligence and KYC.
Another highlight was having dinner with the AML Unit of the Fairfax County Police Dept.'s Narcotics Division. These gentlemen, by using their CAMS knowledge, were able to break up a very large narcotics ring. ACAMS awarded them for their success in the field. The dinner was hosted by ACAMS' own Jeffrey Aronofsky, Account Executive.
But the best highlight for me was, unquestionably, meeting my CEO and friend, Carrie Bekker and her husband Robert!! With a virtual business model, meeting the various A-Team consultants and other management team members can be quite a challenge. Thus far I have met Kelli Hillmar, COO and ace assistants Brenda Smith and Michelle Page. At the ACAMS conference I also was very privileged to meet A-Team members William Akel and Brian Stoeckert. While riding his bike in Las Vegas, Willliam Akel had the misfortune of being hit by a car and consequently was sporting a bright blue cast on his right arm! We wish William a speedy and complete recovery!!
Caesars Palace was an excellent venue for such a conference, with first class amenities and service. Many thanks to all who helped make the ACAMS conference such a huge success for both BCCP and the AML industry.
