Ready for an international stage.
The UK OSINT Community was formed to unite professionals across the UK who rely on open-source intelligence. As OSINT has expanded beyond the public sector into journalism, finance, and private intelligence, one gap has become apparent. The UK lacks a dedicated, professional conference focused solely on OSINT.

OSINT practitioners are currently spread across policing, defence, security, media, and technology events. What is missing is a single annual forum to share real-world practice, set standards, debate ethics, and connect the UK’s OSINT community in one place.
The UK OSINT Community exists to deliver that. By reinvesting all revenue back into the community, we are building a practitioner-led OSINT Conference that reflects the importance of OSINT to modern investigations and intelligence work.

Learning Lessons to Face Future Challenges
Tony Marshall
Policing is about to face its first major restructuring in over 6 decades. According to the Government’s white paper, 90% of crime today has a digital element. Now is the time to learn lessons and build professional resilient i3 / OSINT capabilities to combat crime and future digital threats. Tony's presentation will show why.
