2020 marked the start of a global pandemic and the world’s first 24-hour virtual conference on global organized crime, #OC24. Since then, six editions of OC24 have taken place, bringing together researchers and practitioners from all over the world at a scale and in a way that a physical conference cannot match.

With various and innovative session formats, the previous six editions of #OC24 from 2020 to 2025 each attracted more than 10 000 participants worldwide.

This year, we’re excited to host a continuous 24-hour edition of the conference. Twenty-four sessions will run sequentially in one Zoom webinar, allowing participants to follow the full programme without choosing between parallel streams. Organized crime scholars and practitioners will discuss topics including human trafficking, drug trafficking, cybercrime, corruption and the impact of climate change on organized crime worldwide.
