2024 IIPCIC Pre-Conference Workshop

This year's Pre-Conference Workshop aligned with the conference agenda and focused on coordinating responses, aligning resources, and leveraging opportunities. We looked at the nexus of cooperation between law enforcement, the public and private sectors, and free trade zones to combat illicit trade. Together, we examined case studies to identify the factors that facilitate illicit trade. Together, we also proposed measures law enforcement, the public and private sectors, and free trade zones can take to detect and help prevent it from reoccurring and mitigate any consequences. The workshop explored common challenges and responses and identified solutions through best practices.
