GASA New Year Online Reception, Fighting Scams in 2026 - 15/01/26 - 1:00PM UTC
Thursday January 15th 2026 - 1:00 PM (UTC)
As we enter 2026, global scam activity continues to rise in scale, sophistication, and impact. Combating this threat requires coordinated action across sectors, borders, and disciplines. To kick off the new year, the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) brings together three leading voices who are shaping the global response to scams in the year ahead. Join us for an engaging and forward-looking online reception where our experts share their priorities, strategies, and New Year’s resolutions for fighting scams in 2026.
Speakers:
- Abigail Bishop, Head of External Relations, Amazon
- Giacomo Gnecchi, Head of Trust & Safety, Google
- Paul Benda, Chair Fraud & Scams Taskforce, International Banking Federation
- John Kirwan, Head of Trust & Integrity, TikTok
- Saeed Khalfan Ali Alkaabi, Lt. Colonel, Ministry of the Interior of the United Arab Emirates
- Justen David, Sr Director Global Public Policy, Somos
Together, they will discuss:
- The most urgent scam threats emerging in 2026
- Cross-industry and cross-border collaboration plans
- How law enforcement, the financial sector, and international alliances will work together to reduce consumer harm
- Their personal and institutional “New Year’s Resolutions” for fighting scams more effectively
Whether you work in policy, enforcement, finance, cybersecurity, consumer protection, or simply want to stay informed, this session will provide valuable insight into what the global fight against scams will look like in the year ahead.
Start the year aligned, informed, and ready to take action. Join us for GASA’s 2026 New Year Online Reception.
