The International Anti-Corruption series is the world’s largest gathering of people who are united by a passion for promoting transparency, tackling corruption and progressing social justice. Over four decades it has brought together people from around the world to advance the fight against corruption, take stock of the impact of our collective work and show support for the countless victims of corruption around the world. This year, under the theme of ‘Igniting the Power of Integrity’, we are inviting people of integrity around the world to unite to stand up for our shared vision of a world free from corruption, at a time when the erosion of democratic values and the debasing of freedoms continue ruthlessly.
The conference agenda will address how corruption and a lack of accountability fuels many of the world’s most pressing challenges – from poor governance and democratic backsliding to climate crisis, inequalities and insecurity – and promote solutions and action. There will be an extensive and varied agenda including plenary discussions and workshops with brilliant speakers, opportunities to connect and collaborate in side events, as well as documentary screenings (Films4Transparency) and live music (Fair Play) inspired by social justice themes.
The 22nd edition of the 2026 International Anti-Corruption Conference (#IACC2026 will take place from Tuesday, 1 December until Friday, 4 December 2026, in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The event venue is the Barceló Bávaro Convention Center, located just 20 km from Punta Cana International Airport. Click here for more information.

The IACC is committed to inviting speakers from diverse countries and from a variety of fields – including civil society and community activists, policymakers, business leaders and experts. One of the essential purposes of the conference is to bring together such a variety of leaders to review what has worked and make joint commitments to tackle corruption.
The Transparency International movement is a network of over 100 independent chapters and national contacts around the world. Through this network, invitations are shared globally to ensure anti-corruption champions from around the world are included in the agenda and among the participants. We also partner with civil society and business networks to spread the word about the conference.
We value diversity and are committed to welcoming and providing a safe space to everyone to speak, move and meet. The venue is wheelchair-accessible and we are committed to providing ways for those with specific requirements to be able to participate.
All events will take place in the official conference languages of English and Spanish, and for the plenary sessions there will also be translation into the six UN languages (Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, Russian and Spanish).
