Global Fraud Summit 2026

The Global Fraud Summit 2026 is a ministerial-level international meeting convened by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in cooperation with the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), scheduled for 16–17 March 2026 at the Vienna International Centre in Austria.

The Summit aims to provide a high-level platform for dialogue, cooperation, and collective action on fraud as a complex transnational threat. It will bring together senior officials from governments, law enforcement authorities, international and regional organisations, representatives from the private sector, civil society, and academic institutions to examine current and emerging fraud trends, explore policy and operational responses, and strengthen cross-sector partnerships.

The programme is expected to address a range of issues associated with fraud, including its digital and cross-border dimensions, challenges in detection and investigation, strategies for prevention and enforcement, and mechanisms for enhancing international information sharing and coordination. By fostering multistakeholder engagement, the summit seeks to support more effective global responses to fraud, enhance institutional capacities, and identify opportunities for sustained cooperation among states and non-state actors.
