Event overview

NOTIONES (Interacting Network of Intelligence and Security Practitioners with Industry and Academia Actors) is proud to partner with the Cyber Threats Research Centre (CYTREC) at Swansea University to support the Terrorism and Social Media Conference (TASM 2026), taking place from 16–18 June at Swansea University’s Bay Campus.

TASM is recognised as one of the world’s leading conferences on extremist and terrorist misuse of online platforms. These organisations—responsible for severe violence, loss of life, and human rights violations—continue to exploit digital ecosystems, making TASM a crucial meeting point for those working to counter online harms.

This year’s edition will welcome 250+ delegates from around the globe, including representatives from tech companies, governments, law enforcement, regulators, civil society, and academia. Participants can expect high‑level keynotes, cutting‑edge research, and cross‑sector dialogue on the most pressing digital security challenges.
