Connected Crime Collective Action

The eighth annual INHOPE Summit will take place on October 14–15 as a hybrid two-day event. Day One will be available both online and in person, while Day Two will be exclusively in person.

This year’s theme, "Connected Crime, Collective Action," examines the links between CSAM and other forms of digital crime, focusing on how this knowledge can strengthen our collective response.

The first (hybrid) day will map connections between digitally facilitated crimes, such as CSAM distribution, human trafficking, and terrorist and violent extremist content (TVEC).

Through presentations, Q&As, and panel discussions, experts will explore shared tactics and infrastructures across criminal networks, addressing both challenges and opportunities for a united, cross-sectoral response.

The second day will shift to practical solutions, focusing on disrupting these criminal ecosystems through enhanced cooperation, innovative technology, and coordinated response frameworks. Attendees will engage in discussions and hands-on sessions to explore innovative tools and strategic approaches that empower cross-border collaboration, working together to dismantle digital threats.
