Comms Council UK Fraud Summit 2025

Our inaugural CCUK Fraud Summit took place on 5th March 2025 at One Birdcage Walk in London.

We understand from our recent members survey that a majority of members are concerned about the topic of fraud, and expressed a desire for CCUK to do more in this area going forwards.

We are therefore delighted to announce our first CCUK Fraud Summit, which will bring together representatives from sectors such as telecoms and banking, as well as regulators, law enforcement bodies, and civil servants to share insights on how to tackle fraud effectively.

This year, our theme is “Joining the dots on information sharing for the UK communications ecosystem”, and will be exploring the importance of effective sharing of data and information amongst all stakeholders. The day will feature panels and expert presentations, as well as opportunities for networking.
