Building Investigations with Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
This session explores how advanced research tools and methods can transform everyday information into compelling investigative leads and evidence.
By focusing on publicly available sources of information (search engines, social media, satellite imagery and more), attendees will learn how to uncover powerful evidence, hidden in plain sight.
Case studies will highlight how digital footprints, and open data converge to expose truths, challenge official narratives, and drive accountability.
Attendees will leave with practical tools, proven methods, and a flexible framework for integrating OSINT into any investigative workflow.
