IDFC 2026 is where researchers, practitioners, and policymakers come together to make sense of a fast-changing digital world. As generative AI, IoT, blockchain, and the cloud reshape how we work and live, the lines between cybersecurity and digital forensics keep blurring — and that's exactly where this conference lives.
We're interested in the hard problems: how do we prevent cybercrime, handle digital evidence responsibly, and preserve trust when the tools and threats evolve faster than the rules? We welcome new ideas, tools, case studies, and honest conversations about what's working, what isn't, and what's coming next.
IDFC 2026 also opens the door to applied AI well beyond cybersecurity — from materials science and healthcare to autonomous systems, smart cities, and beyond — whenever questions of trust, integrity, security, or verifiability are at stake. If your work touches synthetic media, deepfakes, AI-driven investigations, or any frontier where intelligent systems meet real-world consequences, we want to hear from you.
We welcome submissions across multiple tracks. Choose the call that best fits your work.
