An Authentic Life Is Pure Life! – Pura Vida!
In light of recent developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and in consultation with our Costa Rican co-hosts, it has been decided to postpone the 14th International Law Enforcement IP Crime Conference. The event will be held from 12 to 13 October 2021 in San José, Costa Rica. This event will be co-hosted by INTERPOL and the Judicial Investigation Department of Costa Rica, in partnership with UL (Underwriters Laboratories).
Our 2019 conference was a success – you can watch our event video below under '2019 Conference Highlights'. As always, our conference will offer two days of plenary and panel sessions, a series of breakout sessions and plenty of excellent opportunities for networking – we hope you will join us for this important global event!
We encourage you to plan for your trip early in the year. The conference registration site will open in November.
