WELCOME

The 2024 International Law Enforcement Intellectual Property Crime Conference will occur on 23-25 September in Willemstad, Curaçao. INTERPOL will cohost the 17th annual event with the Government of Curaçao and its partner, the Curinde Free Trade Zone, in partnership with UL Standards & Engagement and presented by the International IP Crime Investigators College.  The theme of this 17th annual event is "Reducing the Harm," with conference tracks focused on coordinating responses, aligning resources, and leveraging opportunities, primarily examining free trade zones and supply chain security.

Following up on the momentum from the 2023 Oslo Conference, the Curaçao event will feature panel and concurrent break-out training sessions led by experienced practitioners, and subject matter experts focused on best practices and insights for combatting IP and related crime areas with content offering innovative ideas, practical advice, and actionable solutions.

The Organizing Committee is working with stakeholders and partners to create an event that focuses on staying relevant in an ever-changing world. The sessions will center on keeping pace with current trends and staying ahead of emerging risks associated with transnational organized IP crime and illicit trade.

This annual International Law Enforcement IP Crime Conference is like no other and traditionally attracts 500 delegates from 100 countries representing 200+ cross-sector organizations. It has an excellent reputation for delivering unsurpassed cross-sector networking and collaboration opportunities. In this relaxed environment, participants can engage and challenge each other, offering a unique delegate experience not found elsewhere.

By strengthening the networking environment at and around the event, we aim to foster conversations within and among cross-sector stakeholders where attendees can collaboratively discuss investigations, enforcement activities, training, initiatives, and ideas to rethink international cooperation and related collaborative mechanisms.

We are thrilled to partner with our Conference cohost and partners in Curaçao, marking the event's Caribbean debut. We welcome you to join us in this beautiful location.
