The $1 Trillion Industry We Need To be Talking About
In this keynote, Tracy Hall shares her harrowing experience as a victim of notorious conman Hamish McLaren, revealing the alarming reality of fraud globally, where over $1 trillion was lost in 2024. Drawing from her memoir and the podcast Who the Hell is Hamish, Tracy discusses the evolving landscape of scams, the role of AI, and the psychological tactics used by scammers. Attendees will learn to recognise vulnerabilities, identify scam types, and foster resilience against fraud, empowering themselves and their organisations.
Not only does Tracy have a compelling story but the team came out of the session empowered to have financial conversations, understand their own financial position & take ownership. Many had not had these critical conversations before. | Ashleigh Wheeler, Brand Manager | Brown-Forman | https://peptalk-static-assets.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/speech-bubble-1.png
