The Global Anti-Scam Summit Europe 2026

Online scams continue to evolve across Europe, impacting consumers, businesses, and public institutions at scale. Fraud networks operate across borders, exploit regulatory gaps, and adapt rapidly to new technologies. What were once isolated incidents are now part of a sustained, cross-border threat affecting digital trust and economic stability across the region.

The Global Anti-Scam Summit Europe 2026 will take place on the 9th and 10th of June at the Convento do Beato in Lisbon, Portugal. The Summit will bring together leaders from government, regulation, law enforcement, financial services, technology, consumer protection, and cybersecurity to address the growing complexity of scams across Europe and beyond.

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. Only through cooperation can we stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated scam networks.

Convento do Beato – Lisbon, Portugal

Convento do Beato is one of Lisbon’s most distinctive and historic event venues. Originally founded in the 15th century as a monastery, the complex has been carefully preserved and adapted into a modern cultural and conference space, combining centuries of history with contemporary infrastructure.

Located along the Tagus River in the Beato district, the venue offers expansive cloisters, vaulted halls, and striking architectural details that reflect Lisbon’s maritime and religious heritage. Its scale and flexibility make it ideal for high-level conferences, plenary sessions, workshops, and networking events, while still maintaining a unique sense of place.

Today, Convento do Beato is widely regarded as one of Lisbon’s premier venues for international gatherings — valued for its character, accessibility, and ability to host large, impactful events in an inspiring setting that is distinctly Portuguese.

Address: Alameda do Beato 38, 1950-042 Lisboa, Portugal

Scam Fighter Awards

The GASA Scam Fighter Awards recognise excellence in combating scams across prevention, detection, disruption and enforcement. From forward-thinking policy and regulatory initiatives to cross-sector collaboration, technological innovation, awareness campaigns and investigative research, the awards honour efforts that measurably reduce scam harm, demonstrate clear potential to do so, and strengthen resilience across the ecosystem.

Nominations are open to initiatives at any stage of development – concept, pilot or fully implemented – provided they demonstrate clear impact in increasing the cost of committing scams, reducing their success rates, or improving accountability and enforcement outcomes.

Shortlisted nominees will be invited to present their initiatives at the Summit.
