The International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC) which was established in 1983 takes place usually every two years in a different region of the world, and hosts from 800 to 2000 participants from over 135 countries worldwide.
The IACC has become the world’s premier global forum for bringing together heads of states, the civil societies, the private sector and more to tackle the increasingly sophisticated challenges posed by corruption.
