31st IAP Annual Conference

The 31st Annual Conference and General Meeting of the International Association of Prosecutors (IAP) is scheduled to take place from November 15 to 18, 2026, at the King Abdulaziz Conference Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Hosted by the Public Prosecution of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this global event aims to bring together prosecutors from around the world to discuss pressing issues in the criminal justice system.

The central theme of the conference is "The Criminal Justice System in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Opportunities, Challenges, and Global Applications." This timely topic will explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the criminal justice landscape, presenting both opportunities and challenges for legal practitioners globally. Attendees will engage in discussions that address the integration of AI technologies in legal processes, ethical considerations, and the future of justice in a digital age.

Beyond the thematic sessions, the conference offers a unique opportunity to engage with the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This is particularly significant as the IAP has had limited interactions with this region in the past. Participants will gain valuable insights into the legal systems, traditions, and regional priorities that shape justice in this vital part of the world.

The event is open to prosecutors and legal professionals interested in the evolving intersection of technology and criminal justice. Attending this conference will provide participants with a platform to share experiences, discuss best practices, and collaborate on addressing the challenges posed by artificial intelligence in the legal field.
