Hate Crime will top the agenda at Belfast City Hall later this month during a special question and answer event.
The No Place for Hate conference will look at the rising issues of online hate crime.
Hosted in association with the Belfast Policing & Community Safety Partnership (PCSP) and the PSNI, the evening event will feature an interactive question and answer session with a panel of leading professionals, including Chara Bakalis of Oxford Brookes University, and Fadzai Madzingira who will speak about Facebook policy and how the social media platform is trying to tackle online hate crime.
The conference will take place at a new as campaign encouraging people to report hate crime is launched.
Peter McReynolds, Deputy Lord Mayor, said: "The message of this campaign is that there is No Place For Hate - all forms of hate crime are unacceptable, both on and offline. The message is simple: to stop it, report it".
"This interactive event is free, open to the public and will highlight both the steps being taken to tackle online hate crime and how we can move forward as a society," he said.
The No Place for Hate conference will take place on Thursday, February 27 from 6pm in The Great Hall at Belfast Belfast City Hall.
