Intelligence in motion: AI that protects, predicts, and performs
Digital commerce is entering a new era where intelligence must move faster than fraud and operate across the entire customer journey, not just at checkout. In this opening keynote, Riskified leadership will unveil how AI-driven behavioral intelligence and pre-checkout innovations are transforming fraud management from point-in-time decisions into continuous, autonomous protection. Attendees will see how network-wide intelligence, real-time decisioning, and explainable AI come together to stop fraud earlier, approve more good customers, and deliver measurable business impact, while previewing Riskified’s vision for the future of agentic commerce and enterprise growth.”
Innovation in action: Experiencing intelligence across the commerce journey
This Innovation Showcase brings Intelligence in Motion to life through live, guided demos from Riskified Product Managers. Attendees will see how AI-driven decisions operate across the commerce journey, from pre-checkout behavioral intelligence to real-time approvals, policy controls, and post-transaction protection. The session highlights how network intelligence, explainable AI, and adaptive decisioning work together to stop fraud earlier, reduce friction for good customers, and drive measurable business impact.

Global signals, instant action: A new standard for fraud defense
Fraud evolves and proliferates at alarming speeds, and merchants need defenses that move just as fast. This session highlights how global intelligence, cross-merchant behavioral insights, and pattern detection are being activated in real time to anticipate attacks before they materialize. We’ll showcase emerging threat vectors, highlight real-world examples of early interception, and illustrate how always-on network signals empower teams to outpace fraudsters instead of reacting to them. The result: more protection, less disruption, and a stronger foundation of customer trust.
Approvals without regret: Driving luxury growth while reducing chargebacks
In luxury ecommerce, every approval drives revenue, but every chargeback erodes margin and brand trust. In this session, Kyle Mellusi, Sr. Fraud & Payment Manager with Dior, shares how Dior’s US team is expanding approvals and conversion while maintaining disciplined control over chargebacks. By leveraging enhanced fraud intelligence and daily chargeback insights, Dior has built a tighter feedback loop between decisioning, issuer trends, and service-related disputes. Attendees will learn how to balance growth and risk in the luxury space, reduce service-level chargebacks internally, and design a fraud strategy that protects both revenue and customer experience.
Lunch
Before the buy button: Orchestrating trust and conversion across the pre-checkout journey
Fraud, abandonment, and false declines don’t start at checkout. They begin earlier, as shoppers create accounts, log in, and update credentials long before a payment is attempted. This session explores how leading merchants are shifting fraud protection upstream, expanding intelligence across the pre-checkout journey to meet evolving fraud tactics while preserving seamless customer experiences. You’ll see how behavioral signals, account updates, and issuer intelligence are used to orchestrate trust decisions earlier in the journey, applying the right controls at the right moments, with adaptive checkout serving as an enabling layer rather than a standalone capability. This unified approach delivers more personalized authentication paths, fewer false declines, higher conversion, and stronger business outcomes across the full shopper lifecycle.
Adapting at speed: How Jason Wolfe is innovating for the next era of ecommerce
The pace of change in ecommerce demands a different kind of leadership. In this conversation, we’d explore how you continuously adapt to new customer expectations, evolving business models, and increasingly sophisticated fraud patterns, and how you’ve challenged conventional approaches to manage risk without slowing growth.
Breakouts
From transactions to intent: Rethinking refund and return decisions
Refund and return abuse rarely lives in a single transaction—it lives in patterns of behavior. Merchants face a delicate challenge: rigid rules don’t adapt, while expert judgment delivers nuance but doesn’t scale. This session explores how identity-level insights help bridge that gap by adding context and intent to refund and return decisions. Through an open conversation with merchants and data experts, we’ll discuss how approaches like early refunds and dynamic returns can introduce flexibility without losing control or customer trust.
Human judgment at scale: Balancing manual expertise and machine intelligence
As fraud operations scale, teams face a constant tradeoff between automation and human judgment. This session explores how leading ecommerce organizations design workflows that pair machine learning with targeted manual review, using granular data, investigative tooling, and case management systems to focus human effort where it delivers the most impact. Attendees will learn which manual tools matter most, how data fidelity improves both ML outcomes and investigator confidence, and how to scale decisioning without sacrificing control, accuracy, or accountability.

Travel roundtable: Booking lifecycle risk mitigation in the airline and OTA industries
Long booking windows, high average order values, and complex refund rules make travel fraud especially costly and highly sensitive to false positives. Airlines and OTAs must stop fraud and friendly fraud without declining legitimate travelers or damaging lifetime value. In this peer-led roundtable, travel leaders share how they balance fraud prevention, approvals, and refund risk across the full booking lifecycle. Expect practical discussion on reducing false positives, managing post-purchase disputes and refunds, and protecting revenue while keeping the customer journey fast, and loyalty high.
Online gambling & betting roundtable: Analyzing player fraud risk at speed & scale
Bonus abuse, account takeovers, friendly fraud, and rapid withdrawal scams are hitting gambling and betting operators at unprecedented speed. All of this unfolds under strict regulatory oversight, where mistakes can mean lost revenue, unhappy players, or compliance exposure. This roundtable brings together gambling and betting leaders to share how they identify fraud and abuse in real time, separate risky behavior from legitimate play, and protect revenue without slowing the action. Expect candid discussion on fraud signals, player lifecycle risk, withdrawals, disputes, and the tradeoffs operators make to stay fast, compliant, and player-friendly.
Cross-asset transfer roundtable: Assessing crypto & money movement risk in real time
Financial transfer providers across remittances, cryptocurrency, money transfer, and precious metals operate in high-volume, high-risk environments where trust is essential. This roundtable brings together industry leaders to discuss how AI, real-time identity intelligence, and strong compliance programs can protect against fraud without adding friction to the customer experience. Drawing on insights from Riskified’s experts, we will examine emerging threats like cash-out fraud, first-time buyer abuse, and fraud-as-a-service. Participants will share practical strategies to reduce friction for legitimate users, navigate complex regulatory requirements, and use machine learning to spot risk across fiat, digital, and commodity currencies.

Breakfast
Who owns the risk when AI pays? The accountability void in agentic commerce
In 2025, agentic commerce rewrote the rules of online shopping and, in the process, opened up new discussions regarding risk and liability. Between breakneck AI innovation, consumer Gen AI adoption, and AI-spurred transactions, agentic commerce has definitively entered the chat. But this huge opportunity also poses a critical question: is AI-driven shopping putting merchants at risk? The discussion will examine how agentic commerce is transforming online payments and changing the risk, liability, and conversion playbooks in the process.
Scaling smarter: Turning fraud decisions into revenue growth
In this fireside chat, Podium shares how it transformed fraud management from a control function into a driver of growth. By expanding Riskified across accounts, improving onboarding and internal adoption, and leveraging real-time data for sharper forecasting, the team unlocked greater visibility and scale across their fraud operations. The conversation will unpack how operational changes, rapid iteration on performance issues, and tools like decline override enabled faster approvals and more control over decisioning. Attendees will walk away with a practical look at how aligning fraud strategy with business goals can drive efficiency, adaptability, and meaningful revenue impact.
The Risk-Aware CX Revolution: Fast-track trusted customers while preventing fraud and policy abuse
For years, Customer Experience (CX) leaders have been forced into a compromise: offer instant resolution to loyal customers, or implement rigid hurdles to stop the rising tide of refund and return abuse. While AI has scaled customer service efficiency, it has also inadvertently scaled the opportunity for exploitation through GenAI-enhanced tactics like highly persuasive scripts, synthetic identities and voice spoofing. The missing link? Risk-Aware Identity Intelligence.
Join Maria Vargas (SVP of Member Experiences, Rue Gilt Groupe) and Riskified for an exclusive look at how to move beyond traditional CX automation. We will reveal how graph intelligence helps CSRs instantly distinguish between high-value members and the professional abusers responsible for millions in losses.

Designing AI-led fraud prevention: the next generation of product and risk
As fraud grows more dynamic and harder to detect, traditional approaches to prevention are no longer enough. A new model is emerging, where AI continuously learns from behavior, adapts decisions in real time, and embeds risk directly into the product experience. At Expedia, this shift is redefining how fraud prevention is designed, tested, and scaled across a global platform. In this session, Radhika Mehra will discuss how her team is building AI-led fraud capabilities that move beyond static rules and reactive controls, enabling more adaptive, context-aware decisions throughout the customer journey. The conversation will offer a forward-looking perspective on how product and risk teams are converging, and what it means to design fraud prevention for the next era of ecommerce.
Stopping fraud before it starts: Identity-driven intelligence for approvals and abuse prevention
As fraud becomes more sophisticated and shifts earlier in the journey, Jorge Sanhueza is rethinking prevention beyond checkout, using identity-driven intelligence to block bad actors before transactions begin. In this session, he will share how Pangea Money Transfer is reducing chargebacks, increasing approval rates, and improving retention. By connecting identities across transactions, combating promotional abuse, and minimizing manual review, Jorge’s approach delivers stronger model accuracy and better outcomes for both new and returning customers, offering a practical blueprint for stopping fraud earlier while driving measurable business impact.
