25 – 30 October 2026
International Convention & Exhibition Centre, Belfast
The International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) invites the global corrections community to its 28th Annual Conference, "Partnerships in a Modern Corrections Landscape: Responding to Increasing Growth and Complexity."
The conference will examine the pressures of rising prisoner numbers and the growing complexity of needs among people in custody and under community supervision. Delegates will be invited to consider how corrections can best respond to these challenges through collaboration and partnerships, including with government agencies and social services, research bodies, and not-for-profit organisations.
Across the four days, the programme will showcase research, practice and innovation under three focused sub-themes: Collaborative Partnerships, Managing Prison Growth, and Community Alternatives and Reintegration.
