Assurance Risk Fraud Technology
WHY RAG? Established in 2004, the RAG is the world’s longest running business assurance group, and is at the forefront of telecoms, covering the latest matters for risk management, revenue assurance, fraud management and security.
GLOBAL EVENTS Having begun in the UK, RAG brings its unique format and expertise to other regions including Europe, Africa, and Australia, and we plan to run a global cycle of conferences.
LEARNING All our events focus on sharing experiences and knowledge, in an open and safe environment which fosters trust. Presentation materials are made freely available to attendees.
BUILDING LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS RAG’s approach includes a strict non-sales and non-marketing policy, meaning that business decision makers and influencers are more open to honest discussions about their challenges and needs. It allows trust to be established for long-term relationships.
AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT Energy in the room is always high. Our speakers are on-hand to answer questions and challenges from the audience. Part of our unique approach includes anonymous, real-time polling and question submission, encouraging more interaction from the audience.
FREE TO ATTEND RAG’s unique format means that telcos don’t have to pay to attend the conference or the social and networking activities.
SOCIAL & NETWORKING Stay with us after the learnings of each day for a chance to socialise and network with the other conference-goers. Engage directly with colleagues, industry peers, the expert speakers, and make new contacts.
VALUE FOR MONEY RAG’s sponsorship packages offer unprecedented value for money in a unique environment for our sponsors compared to other industry events.
Big, highly engaged audiences. Learn what challenges telcos really face and build strong, long-term relationships with decision-makers.

Established in 2004 by UK telcos with the help of Cartesian, the RAG (originally the Revenue Assurance Group) is the longest running event in the world of business assurance. Our scope has evolved to reflect the remit of a modern risk and assurance professional. There is no charge for participation. All we ask is that people come with an open mind, and a
willingness to share their knowledge.
