Keynote:
Frank Abagnale, subject of the feature film “Catch Me If You Can” and one of the world’s most respected authorities on forgery, embezzlement, identity theft and secure documents. After an international crime spree, he was arrested at age 21 for cashing millions in fraudulent checks and posing as a doctor, lawyer and airline pilot. Following his five-year prison term, he was released after agreeing to help the FBI as an expert on fraud.
