Police Digital Service supporting the Global OSINT Conference
We are pleased to be supporting the UK OSINT Community at the Global OSINT Conference taking place on 5 October 2026 in London. In partnership with C4ADS, the Bloomsbury Intelligence and Security Institute (BISI), and Authentic8 this major new event will bring together leaders, practitioners and innovators from across policing, government, industry, academia and civil society to advance the strategic use of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
As the world’s challenges become increasingly interconnected, OSINT now plays a defining role in geopolitics, criminal investigations, sanctions enforcement, national security, and corporate risk management. The Global OSINT Conference will convene experts from across sectors to elevate professional standards, deepen cross‑sector cooperation, and shape the next phase of OSINT practice worldwide.
Edward Preece, Chief Operating Officer at the Police Digital Service, said:
“We are delighted to have been asked to support the OSINT Community at the first Global OSINT Conference which will promote how OSINT can enhance law enforcement capabilities securely and responsibly to protect the public.”
