The INHOPE Summit is our annual global conference bringing together the people and organisations working to end CSAM online. Each year, we gather industry leaders, hotlines, policymakers, law enforcement, and NGOs from across the world for two days of discussion, collaboration, and action.
INHOPE sits at the centre of a global network of 57 hotlines across 52 countries, working alongside law enforcement, government bodies, and industry partners to tackle CSAM at every level. This network gives us a uniquely comprehensive view of the global CSAM landscape, the trends, the gaps, the emerging threats, and the solutions that are actually working on the ground.
That perspective shapes everything about the Summit. It was built on a simple premise: ending CSAM online is not a problem any single sector can solve alone. Technology platforms, financial institutions, law enforcement, policymakers, and civil society each hold a piece of the solution, but in practice those worlds rarely intersect. The Summit is designed to change that, by creating the conditions for cross-sector cooperation between organisations that might otherwise never share a room.
It is built on real operational knowledge, global reach, and a shared belief that protecting children from sexual abuse online is the collective responsibility of every stakeholder.
Attendees don't just leave with new knowledge, they leave with new partnerships, concrete frameworks, and commitments that translate directly into stronger responses to online child sexual abuse. It is a space to explore common solutions, deepen existing collaborations, and collectively identify where the sector needs to go next.
Spots are limited and carefully curated to ensure every person in the room can meaningfully contribute. The Summit brings together professionals from across:

The 9th annual INHOPE Summit takes place on 6-7 October 2026 in Dublin, Ireland, hosted by Meta. This year's theme, Pathways to Safer Systems puts the financial sector at the centre of the conversation, exploring how technology, finance, infrastructure, and policy can build the coordinated ecosystems that child protection demands.
