Global Anti-Scam Summit America Convenes Government Officials, Silicon Valley Leaders, Financial Services Executives and Law Enforcement in San Francisco for the First Time Leaders from Amazon, Google, OpenAI, Meta, AT&T, Verizon, JP Morgan, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Treasury, the Attorneys General of California and Utah and others will headline a two-day program focused on identifying the most effective solutions to combat scams and how to scale them

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) today announced the final agenda for the Global Anti-Scam Summit America ("the Summit"), which will bring together leaders from across financial services, technology, telecommunications, cybersecurity, government, law enforcement, and civil society on Wednesday, September 2 and Thursday, September 3 at Pier 48 in San Francisco.

"The Summit is bringing together an extraordinary group of government, technology and industry leaders at a critical moment in the fight against scams," said Jorij Abraham, Founder and Managing Director of the Global Anti-Scam Alliance. "With new sessions focused on AI-powered scam prevention, mobile security, cross-border fraud and the latest data on the state of scams in the U.S., the agenda is designed to move past the description of the problem and focus on solutions. We want to create an environment where the people working on these issues every day can share what is working, identify where greater collaboration is needed, and help drive meaningful action."

The Summit occurs at a moment when scams continue to grow in both scale and sophistication, with the crisis impacting banks and payment providers, technology and AI platforms, mobile carriers, law enforcement, regulators, state and federal government, and the victim-support community alike. The Summit's program is built to surface what is demonstrably working in each of these sectors and to examine how those approaches can be scaled for greater impact – some of the featured sessions include:

Newly added sessions address some of the most rapidly evolving areas in the fight against fraud, including AI-powered scam prevention, mobile platform security and cross-border fraud. The Summit will also mark the release of The State of Scams in the United States 2026, produced in collaboration with Iris ® Powered by Generali, alongside practical case studies, new research and concrete examples of public-private collaboration from organizations actively working to prevent scams and protect consumers. The Summit, held in Washington DC the last two years, is being hosted in San Francisco this year only weeks after StopScams SF, the first U.S. citywide strategy to protect residents from scams before they occur and to support victims when they do, was announced.

"Convening in San Francisco this year puts us in a city that is taking meaningful steps of its own to address the scam crisis," said Nils Mueller, Director, North America Chapter, at the Global Anti-Scam Alliance. "But what we are really here to do is bring together the leaders and champions from every sector this crisis touches, from banks and platforms to carriers, law enforcement and consumer protection agencies, and get past the recitation of how bad the problem is. Our focus is on identifying the interventions that are actually reducing harm and working out how to scale them across the country and beyond."

Virtual attendance is available free of charge, providing those who cannot join in person with access to all sessions on the Summit's main stage. Members of the press interested in attending or learning more about the Global Anti-Scam Summit America should contact [email protected].
