FutureCrime Summit 2026, One of India’s largest conference focused on cybercrime, digital forensics, cybersecurity and emerging technology threats, will now be held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, marking a significant venue shift from the earlier planned Dr. Ambedkar International Centre.
The move comes as organisers prepare for a larger-format edition of the summit. The change in venue reflects rising interest from law enforcement agencies, government departments, cybersecurity companies, digital forensics professionals, academia, legal experts and private-sector technology leaders.
Bharat Mandapam, located at Pragati Maidan, has emerged as one of India’s most visible convention venues in recent years. It hosted the 18th G20 Summit in September 2023 and has also been associated with major global technology gatherings, including the India AI Impact Summit 2026.

From Ambedkar Centre to Bharat Mandapam
For FutureCrime Summit, the shift to Bharat Mandapam is more than a logistical adjustment. It signals the growing size and public relevance of conversations around technology-enabled crime.
The summit was earlier planned at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, a respected institutional venue in New Delhi. But with expanding participation and growing interest from public and private stakeholders, organisers decided to move the event to Bharat Mandapam to better accommodate the scale of the 2026 edition.
The new venue gives the conference room to host a broader mix of keynote sessions, parallel tracks, exhibitions, partner showcases, networking spaces and award ceremonies. That matters in a field where cybercrime is no longer a niche technical issue. It now intersects with banking fraud, digital arrest scams, ransomware, artificial intelligence, deepfakes, online child safety, national security, digital evidence, cyber policing and public-sector resilience.
Bharat Mandapam’s selection also gives the summit a symbolic institutional setting. The venue has already hosted global and national conversations involving diplomacy, technology and governance, including the G20 Summit and the India AI Impact Summit.
A Larger Stage for Cybercrime, Policing and Digital Risk
FutureCrime Summit 2026 is expected to bring together hundreds of speakers and thousands of participants, making it one of the most significant cybercrime-focused conferences in the country.
The conference will focus on the changing nature of technology-enabled crime and the systems required to respond to it. These include cyber policing, financial fraud investigation, digital forensics, AI-enabled crime, cyber law, ransomware response, threat intelligence, online safety, cyber capacity building and national security.
The scale of the event reflects a wider shift in India’s cybercrime landscape. Police officers and cyber cells are now handling cases that often involve banks, telecom companies, social media platforms, cryptocurrency trails, international servers and rapidly evolving fraud networks. The response to these crimes increasingly requires coordination among law enforcement, regulators, forensic experts, cyber companies, legal professionals and policymakers.
The summit’s industry partnerships also point to that cross-sector approach. ReSecurity and Binary Global are the Platinum Partners for the summit, while MH Service and ProDiscover are the Gold Partners. Their presence underlines the increasing role of private cyber intelligence, forensic technology and digital investigation tools in the broader fight against cybercrime.
FCRF Excellence Awards to Honour Cyber and Digital Trust Leadership
The awards are expected to bring visibility to work that often remains outside public attention: cyber police teams freezing stolen funds, forensic professionals preserving digital evidence, investigators tracing online fraud networks, compliance leaders building resilience systems and innovators strengthening public cyber safety.
A key part of the awards is the jury, which includes senior names from policing, cybersecurity, law, defence and cyber governance. The jury includes Dr. Vikram Singh, former DGP, Uttar Pradesh and Chancellor of Noida International University; Arun Kumar, former DG, Railway Protection Force; Dr. Gulshan Rai, former Director General of CERT-In; Dr. Pavan Duggal, advocate, Supreme Court of India; Maj Gen Sandeep Sharma (Retd.); AVM (Dr.) Devesh Vatsa, adviser, Data Security Council of India; and Prof. Triveni Singh, former IPS officer and Chief Mentor, FCRF.
The presence of several former senior police and security leaders gives the awards a strong law-enforcement and public-institution perspective. At the same time, the inclusion of cyber governance, legal and defence-sector voices expands the evaluation lens beyond individual case success to include institutional impact, innovation, technical depth and replicability.
For police officers, cyber cells, police stations, forensic teams and professional organisations, the awards offer an opportunity to present work before a national audience engaged in cybercrime response and digital security.
Registration, Sponsorships and Exhibitions
With the move to Bharat Mandapam, FutureCrime Summit 2026 is being positioned as a larger and more expansive edition of the conference. The venue shift allows the summit to accommodate more participants, a broader exhibition area and deeper engagement between law enforcement, government, academia and industry.
Those wishing to attend the conference can proceed through the official registration channel.

The summit will also host the FCRF Excellence Awards 2026, which are designed to recognise contributions in cyber policing, cybersecurity, digital forensics, cybercrime investigation, digital trust, cyber law, risk management and related fields.

For a conference built around the future of crime, the venue shift is also a statement about scale. Cybercrime is no longer a specialised concern discussed only in technical rooms. It is now a national governance issue, a policing challenge, a business risk and a public safety priority. At Bharat Mandapam, FutureCrime Summit 2026 is set to place that conversation on a larger stage.
