The U.S. Department of Justice launched the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Program (ICAC Program) in 1998 as part of a national strategy to combat and prevent child exploitation. ICAC Task Force training is often held annually within regions across the United States. The exact dates and locations of these law enforcement conferences vary from year to year but below is a short list of the typical conference names and locations:
- Florida ICAC Training Symposium (Orlando, Florida)
- Northwest Regional ICAC Conference (Seattle, Washington)
- Crimes Against Children Conference (Dallas, Texas)
- National Law Enforcement Training on Child Exploitation (Atlanta, Georgia)
- Wisconsin ICAC Conference (Green Bay, Wisconsin)

Regional ICAC conferences provide law enforcement professionals (police, sheriffs, prosecutors, etc.) with excellent opportunities to learn from peers and industry experts, network with other officers from their state and region, and see the latest vendor technology to help them in their digital investigations.
In addition to conferences, four vendors have received funding from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to train task force members and include:
- National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C)
- National Criminal Justice Training Center at Fox Valley Technical College
- The Innocent Justice Foundation
- SEARCH
These DOJ sponsored events are just a few of the 2020 Law Enforcement Conferences in North America.
