The Congress overview

The financial sector flagship event for Economic Crime, the Economic Crime Congress 2026, returns on Thursday 3 December 2026 at the iconic Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London.

Bringing together leaders from government, industry and civil society to turn partnership into progress, our 2026 programme will focus on real-world collaboration from sharing intelligence and disrupting criminal networks to tackling fraud, sanctions breaches and corruption.

The overarching theme of the day will be to bring to life the harms and impact of economic crime, and through sessions and insights from our expert speakers, discuss what needs to be done to build a better society and community, domestically and globally. 

Our 2025 event brought together over 550 senior leaders. Tackling economic crime requires a united approach, with collaboration across government, regulators, law enforcement, financial services, technology and telecommunications firms and consumer groups. 

ECC 2026 will feature even more high-profile speakers, interactive discussions, and practical solutions for tackling Economic Crime across financial crime, corruption, sanctions, fraud and intelligence.

The Economic Crime Congress delivers unparalleled, high-quality conversations that shape the industry’s response to financial crime and fraud. At PA, we're excited to continue partnering with UK Finance and look forward to seeing what 2026 holds. 

The Congress was an excellent event and a valuable opportunity. The quality of attendees and conversations made exhibiting genuinely impactful, helping us build strong connections and showcase our expertise to the right audience. It was a well-run event that delivered real commercial and brand value for us.

It was one of the best conferences I have attended. I met people I have worked with in the past and some new faces. Learned a lot, particularly in the sanctions space.
