Cycle Crime Conference is now part of the National Acquisitive Crime Conference

For many years, we’ve hosted our two conferences – the Cycle Crime Conference and the National Acquisitive Crime Conference – back-to-back, giving police forces and security professionals the opportunity to connect, share insights, and focus on the issues that matter most.

This year, we’re making a small change: the Cycle Crime Conference will now sit under the umbrella of the National Acquisitive Crime Conference.

Why the change?

As the UK crime landscape evolves, cycle theft is increasingly linked with broader acquisitive crime activity - and this is reflected in our attendance numbers. Many cycle crime delegates also choose to attend the National Acquisitive Crime Conference, finding it valuable to exchange ideas with colleagues across different areas and disciplines.

We wanted to respond to that feedback.

By combining the two events, we’re encouraging a more joined-up approach to tackling these issues, while making it clear that attendees can benefit from either a single day or both days of complementary content.

What does this mean for our regular Cycle Crime Conference attendees?

In practical terms, very little will change. You’ll still enjoy a full day of dedicated expertise, specialist sessions, and high-quality content focused specifically on cycle crime – but you’re also encouraged to attend other sessions that focus on broader acquisitive crime and anti-social behaviour.

What to expect from the National Acquisitive Crime Conference 2026?

When: Tuesday 7th & Wednesday 8th July 2026
Where: De Vere Latimer Estate, Chesham, Buckinghamshire - Just 30 mins by tube from Baker Street or 30 mins from M1 J8
