The Digital Crimes Consortium (DCC) is an exclusive, invitation-only global forum hosted by Microsoft’s Digital Crimes Unit (DCU), uniting law enforcement, cybersecurity practitioners, academics, and industry leaders to strengthen collective action against cybercrime. Established in 2009, this PR free convening—held under the Chatham House Rule—has built trusted, cross-sector partnerships and advanced coordinated responses to emerging digital threats.
Most recently held in Athens, Greece in March 2025, DCC brought together participants from 39 countries and 167 organizations, featuring more than 60 presentations, 11 hands‑on labs, and a SANS range event.
Please note a slight date adjustment for our next convening: DCC 2026 will take place in Mexico City from March 10–12, 2026, in partnership with the Organization of American States (OAS). Our theme for 2026 is Securing the Digital Future: AI, Threats, and Trust.
