The Merchant Risk Council (MRC) Vegas 2025 conference is just around the corner, and it promises to be an event packed with educational opportunities, networking, and professional growth. Taking place from March 10-13 at the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, this year marks the 25th anniversary of the event, cementing MRC as a leader for fraud prevention and risk management professionals.
We are looking forward to participating and wanted to highlight some can’t-miss aspects of this year’s event.
Deepfake fraud fighting tactics
With the rise of GenAI and other sophisticated fraud tools, it’s more important than ever to stay ahead of emerging threats to prevent deepfake fraud. MRC Vegas 2025 will feature Fraud-as-a-Service: GenAI and Sophisticated Tools Used by Fraudsters, a session that tackles the growing challenges presented by deepfake fraud.
These sessions will help attendees better understand how fraudsters are using advanced technology to exploit vulnerabilities and what steps they can take to protect their businesses from fraud-as-a-service providers.
Exhibit hall: Meet the experts
If you’re looking to see the latest in fraud prevention technology, be sure to stop by the exhibit hall. Located in booth 329, IDScan.net will be showcasing cutting-edge solutions to fight against in-person and digital fraud. The exhibit hall will be open during the following hours:

Insights from industry leaders
This year’s lineup includes some of the most successful industry leaders, offering insightful sessions and panel discussions. Sessions include fraud prevention insights from leadership at Wayfair, Poshmark, Walmart, Google, and Apple.
These sessions are designed to offer real-world insights and actionable strategies to help your business stay one step ahead of fraudsters.
Networking opportunities
Networking is one of the most valuable aspects of attending any in-person event. MRC will feature traditional networking opportunities, as well as seven focus groups, each offering an opportunity to dive deep into specific topics related to fraud prevention, payments, and risk management. There will also be roundtable discussions on Thursday, offering a chance to collaborate and learn from peers in smaller, more intimate settings.
These networking opportunities not only offer attendees the chance to expand their professional connections but also allow for more use case-specific discussion of valuable fraud-prevention insights.
Continuing Education Credits (CPFPP) for Eligible Sessions
One of the most valuable aspects of attending MRC is the opportunity to earn Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits. Eligible sessions, including the Fraud 101 and Fraud 201 workshops, offer attendees the chance to deepen their knowledge and gain valuable credentials. These workshops are a great tool for anyone looking to improve their fraud prevention skills and advance their careers.
With so many exciting opportunities on the horizon, MRC Vegas 2025 is shaping up to be an unforgettable event. Whether you’re looking to learn from top industry leaders, stay ahead of emerging fraud trends, or expand your professional network, this year’s conference promises to be an essential experience for anyone in the world of payments and fraud prevention. See you in Vegas!
