NWFIA Conferences

The Northwest Fraud Investigator's Association offers two conferences each year. These conferences are held in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and British Columbia (Canada). Any NWFIA member or their agency/business may host a conference. The conferences are designed to keep the membership up-to-date on new fraud trends as well as investigative strategy and techniques. The Fall Conference is generally held in September or October and the Spring Conference in April or May. The conference venue rotates through the Pacific Northwest.

If you are considering hosting an NWFIA conference please feel free to contact any member of the Executive Board.  You can also check out the Conference Manual on-line.  This is a step-by-step guide on how to put on a successful NWFIA conference. 

Information about specific investigations, wanted persons and fraud in general is shared at each of the conferences.  This is a tremendous opportunity to network with fellow investigators. The Association's purpose is to secure the cooperation of all those interested in the location, apprehension, prosecution and conviction of persons defrauding the public as well as fraud prevention techniques. Some information presented at conferences may be of a sensitive information, so members are expected to use good judgment and discretion.
