ICCC 2026 13+ years unbroken · New Delhi, India
Converging Futures: Cybersecurity, Cybercrime & AI in the Autonomous Age
Delegate registration, roundtable partnership and the call for papers open in stages. Register your interest to be notified first.
For more than a decade, the International Conference on Cyberlaw, Cybercrime & Cybersecurity has stood as one of the world's most enduring, authoritative and future-facing platforms examining the intersection of law, technology, security and society.
Conceived as a global thought-leadership initiative, ICCC has consistently anticipated technological inflection points and addressed their legal, policy and civilizational consequences long before they entered mainstream regulatory discourse. Organised every year without interruption for over thirteen years, it is among the longest-running international conferences dedicated to this field — supported by 165+ organisations from 100+ countries and drawing approximately 1,500 delegates annually.
ICCC's credibility stems not from scale alone, but from its continuity, intellectual depth and policy relevance — making it a trusted reference point for stakeholders across jurisdictions.
ICCC 2026 examines an age marked by unprecedented possibility alongside profound regulatory, ethical and societal tension. Autonomous AI systems are opening new horizons of innovation, efficiency and intelligence orchestration — while simultaneously generating novel forms of risk, liability, governance vacuum and systemic vulnerability.
The focus is on navigating opportunity while confronting disruption, and on building legal and policy frameworks capable of sustaining trust, security and human-centricity in an era of autonomous digital agency.
How statutory design, enforcement machinery and judicial reasoning must adapt when the actor in question is not a person or a firm, but an autonomous system.
Agentic tooling compresses the cost of attack and lengthens the chain of attribution. Investigation, evidence and mutual legal assistance all need re-engineering.
Board accountability, data-fiduciary duties, reasonable security safeguards and the operational reality of running autonomous agents inside regulated enterprises.
Digital and AI sovereignty, strategic autonomy, the rise of the Global South and the longer-horizon question of what autonomous intelligence does to human institutions.
Rather than treating AI as a standalone technology, ICCC 2026 places Agentic AI at the centre of inquiry — recognising it as a force that redefines responsibility, accountability, trust and control in digital societies.
Founder & Conference Director · Senior Advocate, Supreme Court of India
"The legal status of AI agents remains entirely undefined in most global jurisdictions, creating a massive accountability vacuum precisely as agentic AI systems become commercially deployed at scale."
Dr. Pavan Duggal serves as Founder and Conference Director of the International Conference on Cyberlaw, Cybercrime & Cybersecurity, providing its intellectual stewardship, strategic vision and long-term continuity. Internationally recognised as a leading authority on cyber law, artificial intelligence law and digital governance, he has played a pioneering role in shaping legal and policy discourse at the intersection of technology, security and human rights.
His work has consistently anticipated technological inflection points — from the early evolution of cyberspace and cybercrime to the contemporary rise of Artificial Intelligence, Agentic AI and autonomous digital systems.
A Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court of India with over 37 years at the Bar, Dr. Duggal is consistently ranked among the top four cyber lawyers globally. Educated at St. Stephen's College and the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, he has devoted his entire career since 1988 to cyber law, cybersecurity law and artificial intelligence law. He leads Pavan Duggal Associates, Advocates — a specialised technology law firm in New Delhi advising governments, international organisations and multinational corporations on AI law, emerging technology governance and legal strategy.
He has built one of the most extensive institutional ecosystems in global technology law: Chief Executive of the Artificial Intelligence Law Hub; Founder-President of the Global AI Law and Governance Institute (GAILGI); Founder and Chairman of the International Commission on Cyber Security Law; Founder and Honorary Chancellor of Cyberlaw University, which has trained over 32,500 professionals across 174 countries in 53 languages; and President of Cyberlaws.Net, the internet's first dedicated cyber law consultancy. He has served on the Panel of Neutrals of the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center since 2000.
He is the author of the Duggal Doctrine — ten foundational legal principles for AI regulation, formally endorsed by the New Delhi Accord on AI and the first coherent, principle-based global framework conceived by a practising litigator from the Global South. His original intellectual contributions include hallucination liability for AI-fabricated content, AI personhood as a functional legal construct, algorithmic colonialism, and Living Law — adaptive regulation designed to evolve faster than the technology it governs.
Dr. Duggal has authored 203 books, an output unmatched in technology law globally, eight of which have been named by BookAuthority among the best cyberlaw books of all time. He has advised the Indian government for over two decades, providing foundational inputs to the Information Technology Act 2000, and serves on the Supreme Court's sub-committee on electronic evidence rules. His international engagement spans the United Nations system, the Council of Europe, ICANN, WIPO, the Asian Development Bank, the European Commission and the World Economic Forum — and in 2019 he conducted training programmes for elected Judges and Officers of the International Court of Justice at The Hague, in association with the ITU.
Under his stewardship, ICCC has evolved into a future-facing, outcome-oriented global platform rather than a reactive forum — integrating legal rigour, policy realism, technological understanding and civilizational foresight.
Across three days, ICCC 2026 runs a continuous plenary agenda alongside back-to-back corporate roundtables in two dedicated halls and an exhibition floor open throughout. At any given hour several distinct conversations are under way — academic and jurisprudential in Tagore, operational and sector-specific in Bhabha and Fazal, commercial and demonstrative in Ghalib.
Tagore Hall
Academic, policy and regulatory deliberation. Keynotes, ministerial and regulator addresses, jurisprudential panels and the international policy agenda.
Bhabha Hall
Closed-door and semi-closed sessions on real-world compliance, governance and operational challenges — chaired by industry and moderated for candour.
Fazal Hall
A second parallel roundtable stream, enabling sector depth across finance, healthcare, telecom, legal services, critical infrastructure and emerging technology.
Ghalib Hall
The technology showcase floor — where security, privacy, GRC and AI-governance vendors demonstrate capability to a decision-maker audience.
ICCC 2026 will cover a wide and deeply integrated range of themes, assessing how Agentic AI is reshaping power, responsibility, decision-making and risk across public and private domains — and how law must evolve in response.
Beyond the plenary track, ICCC 2026 places strong emphasis on corporate-sector engagement through 15 focused corporate roundtables, designed around the compliance, governance and operational realities organisations actually face. Each roundtable is available for exclusive partnership.
Some of the suggested roundtables being planned for ICCC 2026 are as under. The final fifteen are selected from this pool in consultation with roundtable partners.
ICCC has evolved into a premier international forum where jurists, policymakers, regulators, technologists, law enforcement agencies, corporations and academia collectively shape responses to the most complex challenges of the digital age.
ICCC has created a sustained body of knowledge documenting the legal evolution of cyberspace. Researchers, practitioners and policy scholars are invited to submit abstracts addressing any of the conference's thematic areas — with particular interest in original work on agentic and autonomous systems.
ICCC partnership is built around thought leadership, not signage. Partners chair the sessions their expertise entitles them to lead, in front of an audience of regulators, general counsel, CISOs and boards.
One partner per roundtable. Fifteen roundtables at ICCC 2026, drawn from the suggested themes across six domains.
Association with the main academic and policy track in Tagore Hall.
A presence on the Ghalib Hall showcase floor for the full duration.
For universities, bar associations, industry bodies and multilateral institutions.
