  • Day 0 (June 8) — a relaxed evening to connect with the community before the summit kicks off
  • Opening Keynote: Giles Thomson (Vice-President, FATF) in conversation with Johan Almenberg (Director General, Finansinspektionen)
  • Nick Stapleton (BBC Investigative Journalist) and Riikka Puttonen (United Nations / UNODC)
  • Jeanine Pirro (U.S. Attorney, District of Columbia) on tackling large-scale, transnational scam networks
  • Scam Fighter Awards (Day 2) — recognizing standout initiatives in awareness, collaboration, policy, research, and technology

Over two days, participants will engage in plenary sessions, panel discussions, workshops, and focused exchanges designed to share insights, align strategies, and strengthen cooperation. Discussions will explore emerging scam typologies, victim protection, regulatory and policy responses, cross-sector data sharing, and the role of technology and AI in prevention and disruption. Scams do not respect borders. They demand coordinated action, shared intelligence, and sustained collaboration. The Global Anti-Scam Summit Europe 2026 provides a platform for stakeholders across Europe and globally to come together, exchange best practices, and work towards more effective, collective responses to online fraud.
