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.

Capability Building
Strengthening practical OSINT skills through real-world methods, tools, and case studies.
