The ICT is pleased to invite you to celebrate a decade of global CT cooperation in the upcoming annual gathering of the counter-terrorism community, which will take place in Herzliya, Israel.

Conference Plenary Sessions and Selected Workshops will be broadcast live via our website

ICT’s annual international conference has become a flagship event in the field of  counter terrorism.

The ICT conference provides a high-powered environment in which counter-terrorism experts, security professionals, and leading academic scholars from around the world are able to network, establish essential cooperation mechanisms and exchange views on best practices.

More than 1000 participants from over 50 countries attended ICT’s 9th annual conference, with an even more impressive turnout expected this year.

The International Institute for Counter Terrorism's (ICT) international conference is one of the most influential events in the field of counter-terrorism today. The conference is a vital opportunity for high-profile experts from a diverse background of disciplines to establish professional relationships and serves as a platform for the formation of international cooperation. Speakers and panelists include leading security experts and decision-makers from Israel and abroad who specialize in counter- terrorism, as well as colleagues from the International Counter-Terrorism Academic Community (ICTAC). Participants in this conference have the chance to broaden their understanding from an interdisciplinary viewpoint and learn from fellow government agencies, research institutes and industries about real-world challenges posed by modern and post-modern terrorist organizations.

Speakers and participants at our previous conferences have included current and former ministers, members of parliament, heads of security agencies and police departments, first responders, academics, professional experts in the field of counter-terrorism, jurists, businessmen and students. Scheduled to coincide with, and commemorate, the terror attacks of September 11, the conference has received worldwide acclaim, emphasizing the appreciation of participants who have partaken in this international event.

The conference will commence on September 12, 2010, with an opening event and addresses by keynote speakers.

The conference’s Plenary Sessions (September 13) will feature keynote presentations from senior officials and provide a backdrop for the in-depth examinations and discussions of the following two days.

The program on September 14 and 15 will be devoted to panel discussions and workshops dealing with specific phenomena of modern and post-modern terrorism, including definitions, the terrorism-media-public opinion connection and specific modus operandi, such as suicide terrorism and non-conventional terrorism. Panelists include leading researchers from the relevant fields who will discuss the principal issues.
