The Octopus Conference on Cooperation on Cybercrime & Electronic Evidence will be held on 13-15 December 2023 in Bucharest, Romania.

The conference brings together cybercrime experts from more than 100 countries, international organizations, the private sector, and academia to exchange their views and knowledge regarding cybercrime. This year the focus will be on securing and sharing electronic evidence and capacity building on cybercrime and electronic evidence.
